The London Rare Books School is offering a new full-day course on the movable book, hosted at Cambridge University Library. Using the library's extensive collections, the course traces the history and varied uses of movable features, from early modern spinning volvelles and flap anatomies to Victorian toy books, elaborate pop-ups and contemporary artists' books. It considers how these interactive pages with their tabs and flaps, wheels and string, might reframe the concept of reading, highlighting a long history of embodied, tactile interactions with the book.
