Andy Warhol's Index (Book). New York: Random House, 1967.
A Black Star Book. Building on the theme of adult children-at-play, Warhol designed this book to reflect his Manhattan underground culture. Waldo Hunt’s Graphics International produced the book in cooperation with Random House, with the assistance of Bennett Cerf’s son, Chris, and with photographs of Warhol’s Factory by Billy Name.
This sensational volume contains interviews with Warhol, notes about his underground films, as well as photographs of The Factory scene. The volume includes a tear-out 45 rpm record by the Velvet Underground (featuring a portrait of Lou Reed), perforated pieces of paper suggestive of LSD tabs, a volvelle, and various paper engineered structures, including a folded geodesic dome and several pop-ups, including one of a Hunt’s Tomato Paste can. Might the Hunt’s can pop-up somehow relate intentionally to Waldo Hunt?

Van der Meer was among the first book designers to create pop-up books specifically for adults. In 1992, he realized the concept of creating an educational multi-media kit (with audio cassettes, booklets, pop-ups, models for assembly, and other movable features) in his The Art Pack. Further Packs soon followed: on math; music; the Earth; kids’ art; cooking; parascience; Formula One racing; and this one on architecture. Other book designers quickly adopted the kit format, which has become ubiquitous especially for didactic pop-up books targeting adolescent and adult audiences alike.
