38 CSS Book Effects
This collection demonstrates advanced techniques for creating photorealistic 3D book effects using CSS exclusively. Central to this is the combination of CSS 3D Transforms and precise perspective tuning, which convincingly replicates the geometry of the cover and the curvature of the page flip (rotateY). To achieve high visual realism, gradients and box-shadow are actively employed to simulate soft lighting and shadows in the folds. Furthermore, the demos focus on performance: complex page-turning animation is managed using @keyframes and transform-style: preserve-3d to create fast and cross-browser effects without relying on WebGL.
