although I plan to do it again. I still want better card stock and better craftsmanship. Here's the book, closed.
The closure, on the left, is fragile, even worse than I anticipated, so I want to figure out another way to do it.

Photographing this thing is a nightmare. I no longer have proper backdrops or the lighting. Here is the front of the open book with the wrapper loosely encircling it.
With the two flaps opened you can look into the book. Here you can see four or five of the ten pages.
Unlike some of the commercial tunnel books much of this one has to be seen from above and as with many other books, each page, or group of pages, has to be seen serially. A few more pictures:
Here is why I want to do it again. Each of the pages should be flat, no curves, with sharp creases and no gaps.

Ruth, I know absolutely nothing about book making, but this stuns me! What planning and thought would be needed in such an ambitious project as this. I think it’s absolutely stunning!
Oh, wow, Ruthe. It’s seriously cool! I love the multidimensionality of it — with so many ways to view it. Wow!
Stunning!
Fascinating and beautiful! You captured the spirit of this place so I feel as though I’ve been there.
