The Book of Lights

As a long time fan of popup books, how could I resist Takeshi Ishiguro's Book of Lights, a coffee table book that you'll actually open. "The ultimate illuminated manuscript, Book of Lights’ pop up protagonist emits a tabletop warming glow. A wonderfully crafted and cleverly folded lamp springs to life from the hardy white pages of the bound book, powered by a simple low voltage adapter." Don't know how much light three .06 watt LEDs pump out but suspect it is more for decoration than doing petipoint. ::Artecnica via Alex at ::Shedworking, who is getting trendy.
