London: Book That Transforms Into A Cityscape

Description: Paperscapes London features over 50 of the city's seminal buildings. Accompanying illustrations press out of the page, transforming your book into a cityscape to treasure and display. Described in authoritative and compelling style by Sandra Lawrence, London is by turns cutting edge and ancient, refined and gritty. The streets are lined with idiosyncratic and beautiful buildings, each with a story more fascinating than the last. More than a book, the unique format of Paperscapes London transports this city of contrasts into your hands and home.
