I've been trying to find some real life flip books so that I can have a look at how they are constructed, what kind of paper would be best to use, and so on. Thank god for Pages! They kicked Chapters butt on the flip book front. They have a whole little shelving section set up at their front desk with books by multiple authors/artists as well as pretty much the entire Santiago Melazinni flip book collection. I flipped every available book in that section and in the end decided that the Melazinni books were the best in terms of their construction and how they moved in your hands, and at only $6.95 I HAD to get a couple!! I got a really nice black and white yoga one which shows a sun salutation sequence and a fun bubble blowing one (posted below).
*As a side note I actually called Chapters out of interest to see if any of their locations sold these books (cause they did have them on their online store) but not a single location, not even that big one on Bloor, had them in stock.
