The Country Music Pop-Up Book : The Staff of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

Rating:
Summary: A surprise hit
Review: Perhaps because I was thinking "pop up book" and "children's book" were synonymous, I was pleasantly overwhelmed by the artistic creativity and print-manufacturing complexity of this entertaining and informative work. While edited by the staff of the Country Music Hall of Fame, the content is not Nashville-centric, but highlights the coast-to-coast folk influences on what we collectively call "country" today. Great side-bar pieces from artists ranging from Dolly Parton to Steve Earle give the book a healthy diversity in point-of-view...and clearly prove that pop-up books can be a grown-up medium.
