I wanted to display three high school yearbooks in a page-turning format. I tried several plugins with disappointing results before I stumbled across 3D FlipBook. It has been very easy to use and has given me excellent results. elkrun

This plugin is awesome! Does everything it says it does and more. The free version is actually quite complete. Congrats to the developers! Note: I’ve been reading some of the bad reviews and to my experience the only problem this plugin might have is between the chair and the computer 🙂 lramos
