I often recommend high-quality pop-ups as holiday gifts when I give speeches or do presentations on that topic, partly for the reason you mentioned. So many librarians have told me that they buy few or no pop-ups for their collections because these books get damaged too easily.

I haven’t looked into the 2007 pop-ups yet and don’t know if I’ll have time. But Maurice Sendak did a pop-up last year (which I haven’t read) that got a lot of attention. If I were looking for a good pop-up gift this season, I might start by looking at that one.

The Christmas one is still in great shape because it spends most of the year in a box, only out between Thanksgiving and Epiphany. And you are correct – books like these are hard to keep intact on library shelves. I don’t buy children’s books with pieces or pop-ups for my curriculum collection; they just don’t hold up. Great gifts though.
