title: Alfred Hitchcock: The Master of Suspense: A Pop-up Book
author:  Kees Moerbeek 
description: Grade 6 Up&ndash;This oversize, square-format pop-up book celebrates the great director by devoting a spread apiece to seven of his better-known suspense films. Each opening is dominated by a huge, often abstract montage of stills and iconic images that rises up, enhanced by acetate windows and glimpses of moving heads or other body parts. Each spread also contains a brief, spoiler-ridden plot summary, sometimes with commentary on how a cinematic effect was achieved, and a side flap that highlights Hitchcock's trademark cameo appearance. Plainly designed for the collectors' market but featuring unusually inventive paper engineering and evocative, unsettling visual effects, this 3-D tribute&ndash;like Maxim Jakubowski and Ron Van Der Meer's <I>The Great Movies: Live</I> (S &amp; S, 1987)&ndash;may entice a new generation to check out these classics of the silver screen.<I>&ndash;John Peters, New York Public Library</I> <BR>Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  ALFIE, THE DOVE
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Alfred Hitchcock simply can’t stand war. He knows he may be considered old-
  fashioned, but mechanical kinds of death utterly revolt his delicate taste.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Alfie firmly believes that nothing can best individual craftsmanship. A murder
  really isn’t worth enjoying without that unmistakable personal touch.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  To prove his point, Alfie has assembled thirteen expert practitioners of the
  fine art of homicide. Their body counts may not be as high as figures in the
  newspaper—but quality, not quantity, is their aim. You’ll find thrills
  tailored perfectly to your chilling reading pleasure in—
