NEW: BOOK, CARDS & PAPERWARE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Following on the heels of his success with his pop-up books Christmas in New York and Christmas Around the World, Chuck Fischer has recently released a new holiday pop-up book, In The Beginning: The Story of Genesis, and a series of pop-up greeting cards and fine paper dinnerware products. Learn about them at his BOOKS page and his FINE PAPER PRODUCTS page. NOTE: Chuck's new book In The Beginning is featured by the Hachette Book Group’s newsletter, The Arts.

Fischer has also been honored by The White House Historical Association, which has asked him to create their holiday greeting card for 2008 (right).  The White House Historical Association was founded in 1961 through the efforts of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy to provide funding for the preservation of the state rooms of The White House and its collection of fine and decorative arts.
