Linda Costello - Pop-Up Books
Linda Costello, a Bainbridge architect, is
unique among local authors. She is a renowned paper engineer whose
books - enjoyed by children and adults alike - pop up to reveal
three-dimensional designs. One of several of her astonishing works is
Lighthouses(2007), co-authored with Al Mitchell and Bruce Foster. The book includes
5 amazing, architecturally accurate 3-D pop-ups that stand approximately 9 1/2
inches tall and 5 inches in diameter and demonstrate each lighthouse's unique
design and function. Pop-ups include some of the most famous landmarks in the
country: Cape Hatteras Light, North Carolina's distinctive black-and-white
barber pole; Old Point Loma Light, the beacon for California's Gold rush
traffic; and Florida's prominent Ponce de Leon Inlet Light. Other books
engineered and/or illustrated by Costello include
Adventures of the Pea
Pod Kids (1988),
A Pea Pod Christmas (1988),
The Little
Engine That Could (1988),
Mystery Mansion (1989)
Dinosaur
Habitats (1989) and
Little Red Riding Hood (1989).
