Abstract

Disclosed is a book which includes one or more transparent sheets inserted between the pages of opaque stock. The transparent sheets have images painted, drawn, or otherwise reproduced on both sides of the transparent sheet. The images are mirrored in size and shape from front to back of the transparent sheet affording the viewer one basic image that has two different views. The present invention, when seen as a page in a book, allows illustrations or text, on opaque pages, to be altered without losing sight of the original pages.

a plurality of opaque sheets with illustrations thereon;

at least one transparent sheet positioned between two of said plurality of opaque sheets, said transparent sheet including illustrations on each face of said transparent sheet, said illustration on a front face of said transparent sheet being of a size and shape that is in register with the size and shape of said illustration on a rear face of said transparent sheet.

2. The illustrated book of claim 1 wherein height and width of said transparent sheet are less than the height and width of the opaque sheet adjacent said front face of said transparent sheet.

3. The illustrated book of claim 1 wherein said illustration on said front face of said transparent sheet is different from said illustration on said rear face of said transparent sheet.
