The interactive elements come with paper protectors (or hard card protectors for those with metal elements) that you can leave in the books to stop them from damaging neighbouring pages. The books are printed in China using four bright jewel tones which look great against the thick paper used. This paper-style binding isn’t particularly robust, so you need to take some care removing them if they are in a tight bookcase or you may find the edges get scuffed.Īlthough the interactive elements are quite delicate, the pages are section sewn which makes them quite secure. So far, all the books in this series have been truly stunning editions of classic tales, and they really are wonderful additions to any library, or as a beautiful keepsake gift. The books are hardbacks, bound in heavy textured paper with debossing and spot foiling, but no dust jacket. And 2022 sees the advent of the standalone book MinaLima Magic, an interactive look into their creative process. The Potter books are a smidge shorter than the children’s classics, but follow the same construction and interactive design techniques as the classics series. In 2020 they expanded this line with the first of (presumably) seven volumes of the Harry Potter novels in similar style.
Best known for their design work on the Harry Potter franchise, in 2015 they committed to producing a 12 volume series of interactive children’s classics in conjunction with Harper Design, and to date (2022), eight of these volumes have been released. Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima are the graphic design duo affectionately known as MinaLima.
