The blank book at the end of the shelf is now the city board. • Suggest your city: find it on the map and tell us the places you'd want in its pop-up book. • Vote for the cities you'd like next, and see which ones readers want most. • See which cities are in the works, and the books that came from your votes. • When a city you voted for reaches the shelf, the shelf tells you. Votes guide which city we make next. Thank you to everyone who has already written to ask for one: your cities are on the board.
A shelf of pop-up books, one for each of the world's great cities. Open a book and the city rises out of the page: towers stand up, bridges reach across the river, palace roofs lift into the sky, folded the way real paper pop-ups fold. Lie it flat and the day turns to dusk, the windows light up one by one, a music box plays, and the city comes alive: Big Ben chimes, Tower Bridge lifts for a tall ship, mariachis strike up on the canals of Xochimilco, the L rumbles over the Chicago River, the Golden Pavilion shines in its pond in Kyoto, lanterns glow in Seoul, the sun sets behind Barcelona. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO On iPhone Duo, the phone is the book. Closed, its outer screen shows the cover. Unfold the phone and the book opens with it: slowly, and every card stands up exactly as paper would; snap it open, and the whole city springs up. On any other iPhone, a hinge at the bottom of the screen opens the book. ELEVEN CITIES ON THE SHELF • Barcelona: the Sagrada Família, Casa Batlló and Park Güell. Free. • Chicago: Buckingham Fountain and the skyline across the harbour, the bandshell in Millennium Park, the river and the L. • Kyoto: the wooden stage of Kiyomizu-dera, the torii tunnels of Fushimi Inari, the Golden Pavilion. • London: Westminster and Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace. • Mexico City: the Zócalo and its cathedral, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, the canals of Xochimilco. • New York: the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park. • Paris: the Seine and the iron tower, Sacré-Cœur on Montmartre, Notre-Dame. • Seoul: Gwanghwamun, N Seoul Tower, the old roofs of Bukchon. • Sydney: the Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, The Rocks. • Tokyo: the Rainbow Bridge over the bay, the great lantern of Sensō-ji, the Shibuya scramble. • Washington, D.C.: the Tidal Basin in cherry blossom, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial. Every book is printed in the style of an old atlas: cream paper, gold-foil covers, map pages with compass roses, and a little paper plane that travels with you from city to city. TURN THE PAGES Drag a page to turn it, or tap its edge. Rock the book and the city answers: boats rock, lanterns sway, the plane swings wider. ONE CITY AT A TIME, OR EVERY CITY Barcelona is free. Each other city is a one-time purchase. Or get Every City: every book on the shelf, and every city we add, forever. MISSING YOUR CITY? The last book on the shelf is still blank.
