    Abstract: A book having a plurality of pages bound together to form the book. At least one page of a spread of the book has a flap movable with respect to the page. The flap has a flap recess. The page has a page recess. In a closed position, the flap is positioned within the page recess. A structural element, such as a pop-up element, is housed within the flap recess and/or the page recess.
