"How Many: Spectacular Paper Sculptures by Ron van der Meer (Robin Corey Books/Random House, $24.99). Any book brazen enough to call itself "spectacular" on its cover has a lot to live up to. "How Many" doesn't disappoint. It's a vivid, Op art style collection of shapes transformed into sculptures. Circles spring and spiral upward into a fountain-like piece. Triangles form inverted, intersecting tents. Bonus: A series of questions leads readers to search and count items in each spread."
