As a global center with two millennia of history, London is at once ancient and cutting edge, culturally refined and commercially gritty, and this Paperscapes book is rather like a virtual tour of the city. In cutout pages that resemble a skyline, it presents venerable structures like Westminster Abbey, Nelson's Column, and St. Pancras Station as well as modern ones like the London Eye and the Gherkin. Yet here too are Liberty & Co., the French House, and other more quotidian landmarks familiar to Londoners. Just press out the structures along the perforations and fan open the book to display an interactive cityscape.
