Game of Thrones: A Pop-Up Guide to Westeros

Westeros is easier to keep straight when it stands up in front of you. Game of Thrones: A Pop-Up Guide to Westeros has five featured sets that unfold into three-dimensional paper scenes, plus a map to help connect the places. Michael Komarck’s illustrations and Matthew Christian Reinhart’s pop-up engineering turn all that fictional geography into something you can explore without pausing the opening credits.

If you know a fan who pays as much attention to the locations as to the people scheming inside them, this is for you. Alongside the unfolding scenery, the book includes history and information about the Seven Kingdoms, giving you more to poke around in than the paper architecture alone. Familiar places become little sculptures, and a sprawling fantasy world gets a bit easier to picture. It’s a gift for someone who wants to linger over Westeros, not just find out who gets the throne.
