TASCHEN has published some of the world’s most audacious coffee table books, but The Big Butt Book 3D might just be their crowning achievement in shameless brilliance. Editor Dian Hanson has assembled 110 stunning black-and-white photographs of the world’s most celebrated derrieres — and converted every single one into full anaglyphic 3D. Yes, the 3D glasses are included.
Rated 4.5 stars from 133 Amazon reviewers, this is the coffee table book that earns a permanent place of honour — and a permanent stream of double-takes from every guest who visits. Published by TASCHEN in 2014, it remains one of the most talked-about novelty books ever printed.
What Makes It Great
Using a lenticular cover and anaglyphic 3D technology developed by Jon Schnitzer and The Brain Factory, the photographs in this book genuinely pop off the page in three dimensions. The technique is so refined that the images look exceptional even without the glasses — but put them on and the effect is genuinely spectacular. Each image has been carefully converted to 3D while preserving the original artistic quality.
The book spans 218 pages and measures a substantial 11.02 x 11.02 inches — proper coffee table proportions. It includes text in English, French, and German, reflecting TASCHEN’s commitment to their global audience. The production quality, as with all TASCHEN hardcovers, is exceptional: heavy paper stock, rich printing, and a binding built to last.
