David G. Burder lives in London and shoots 3-D photography. Rick and Susan Sammon live in Croton-on-Hudson, New York and write about nature subjects (they shoot 3-D photography too). When you put them together you get an irresistible set of kids books for The Nature Company.

These were the first projects we worked on where we had to do all color correction wearing special 3-D glasses. It was a hit around the office. We also had to devise a pouch for the back of the book that could hold the glasses when not in use. These books involved a number of other unusual design considerations The covers can't use the special 3-D technology because the viewer in a retail setting will not be wearing the glasses and without the glasses the photographs look terrible. The solution: a simulated 3-D effect in the type. The glasses had a tendency to quickly disappear in the store (they are pretty neat all by themselves). The solution: the display copies had the glasses tied to a string that was bound into the spine of the book.
