When I first got Zoom, it was an incredible book. Imagine a picture, with no words to it. Then turn the page, where the original picture zooms out, so you can see that it's just part of another picture. Then turn the page, and so on. I had never seen anything like it.

Zoom by Istvan Banyai

Free Worldwide Delivery : Zoom : Hardback : Penguin Books Ltd : 9780670858040 : 0670858048 : 25 May 1995 : A wordless book which imitates a zoom lens - in reverse. On each page the focus moves back to reveal a little more. Nothing is quite what it seems - the farmyard is in fact a model farmyard, which is a picture in a magazine, and so on - till at last the earth is seen from space as a tiny dot.
