Utterly unique, press-out over 50 landmark buildings to transform your book into a work of art. Once the card buildings have been removed and constructed, you can fan out the book to create your own version of London to treasure and display. This book literally transforms the cityscape and features 50 seminal buildings, each with a compelling description covering key facts and history of its architecture, its address, the architects, date completed and height. To press around each building, hold the page steady with one hand and use the other to press gently on the delicate edges. Discard the excess card, smooth the edges with your fingers, and display. It begins with a red London bus, then the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Nelson's Column, Liberty London, the French House Pub in Soho, James Smith Umbrellas, St Pancras Station and Hotel, the Charles Dickens Museum, Alexandra Palace - which opened in 1875 with seating for 14,000, a Palm Court, a 3,000-seater theatre and a Concert Hall for 3,500, museums, banqueting suites, refreshment rooms, Italian gardens and a vast, landscape park. The Natural History Museum, the Royal Albert Hall, Wembley Stadium, Hampton Court Palace, and quirky ones like the Reliance Arcade in Brixton or the explorer Sir Richard Burton's tomb where the visitor can peer down into an oriental world of flaking murals depicting the moon, stars and seraphim and a chequered floor of Carrara marble. It is 12 feet high, is in SW14 and was completed in 1890. Then we go right through to The Shard and The O2 and the traffic light tree at Canary Wharf and perhaps best of all Trinity Buoy Wharf and Lighthouse, the home of Bibliophile Books! Cutty Sark, St Pauls, Shakespeare's Globe, Tate Modern and the K2 Telephone Box, this is highly recommended. 110pp, colour.
