Most Expensive Pop-Up Books
After my post on the PC pop up book took off, I decided to look around for other interesting pop-up books I could find and write about. Looking around on Amazon I found lots of interesting ones, but they have been covered over and over again by other bloggers. Eventually I decided to sort by price and found all sorts of interesting books.
The most expensive pop-up book on Amazon is The Wizard Of Oz Pop Up Limited Edition.
Here is an image of the inside of the commemorative re-release, which I believe is the same as the original:
You can find many other images and videos online, and it is obvious that this is a very beautiful and well-designed book. I would love to have it, but it is listed at $1655.29 on Amazon.
The next most expensive is The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon (Limited Edition): A Pop-up Book for $1400, which is apparently a pop-up edition of a book by Steven King and Kees Moerbeek. I’m not sure what makes this worth so much - the images on Amazon show rather dull pop-ups.
Next up is the very long-titled Buck Rogers 25th Century Featuring Buddy and Allura in Strange Adventures in the Spider Ship, The Illustrated Pop-Up Edition. The pop-ups aren’t fancy, but I love the style of the artwork.
It is listed for $1070.18 on Amazon, but the pictures are from this eBay auction, which is listed at $675.
The next book, is a 1930’s Disney pop-up, The Pop-up Silly Symphonies Containing Babes in the Woods and King Neptune for $1059.73. I found images here.
The last entry in my list is another Disney book, Mickey Mouse in King Arthur’s Court , listed at$874.71. The images are from an eBay auction.

They started going downhill from there, and it was annoying to dig through all the non pop-up books that came up in the search.
