Pop-up videos…in book form!

Weird facts are my favorite, and VH1's Pop-up Videos serves 'em up, like in this video of "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele.

I have the same love for annotated books and director's commentary on DVDs. Annotated books are essentially pop-up videos for literature. The whole original book is there, and then around the edges there are all sorts of random information about the text. How the author came up with an idea, drawings, stuff that was cut out of the book before it was published, what was going on when the book was written, randomness! If you like knowing the inside info try Annotated Alice or The Words We Live By, an annotated U.S. Constitution. What book would you like to see annotated?
