(Val) As a kid, I absolutely loved pop-up books. Turning the pages and waiting for the next surprise to jump out was always very entertaining. Those books, especially one called The Pop-Up Book of Trucks, (which belonged to my brother) never got old, no matter how many times I raised and lowered the ladder on the fire truck, bulldozed the pile of dirt or hooked up a disabled car with the wrecker.Now that I am older, books tend to be more about the written word, and less about color and surprise, at least until last week, when a completely new type of book arrived in my mailbox.
Tony Stewart is one of five drivers highlighted by a new series of unique books from Reedy Press. The books are small in size, but big on entertainment. Each is packed full of wonderful pictures by NASCAR Nextel Cup photographers Nigel Kinrade and Brian Czobat, and the format is fresh and new. Each page folds out in a different way, revealing new images and more of the story, bringing the racing action to life right to the palm of your hands.
These amazing photographs are accompanied by the story of the driver and the outline of the season they experienced in 2005. In the case of the Tony Stewart edition, his quest for the Championship comes alive through the words and pictures. As each page unfolds, we see the passion and determination that NASCAR fans have come to love and appreciate, and we experience the thrill of winning right along with the team.
Fun for race fans of all ages, the 2006 series includes drivers Greg Biffle, Mark Martin, Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards, in addition to Stewart. The books measure only about 5 x 7 inches, which makes them the perfect size for packing in a purse or backpack.
If you never outgrew your love of pop-up books, or you just want to enjoy some brilliant photography and read about your favorite driver, be sure to check out the full line of books from Reedy Press. For more information, and to order any of the books in The Reedy Series please visit Reedy Press.
