Overview
Step inside the hidden workings of the world with Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections 6 Books Collection Set. This hardback bundle gathers six of Biesty's most celebrated cutaway titles, each one slicing through a subject—warships, castles, and the human body—to reveal how it's built and how it works. Oversized illustrations packed with labeled detail turn dense technical subjects into an engrossing visual adventure. A bonus poster book extends six of the artworks onto wall-worthy prints. Perfect for curious kids, classrooms, and fans of DK's landmark nonfiction, this set makes learning feel like exploring.

About the Books
Stephen Biesty made his name by taking a scalpel to the everyday and the extraordinary, slicing objects and structures open on the page so readers can trace every gear, girder, and beam. This six-book hardback collection brings together the fullest range of his work for DK, spanning naval history, medieval architecture, human anatomy, and an ever-expanding miscellany of machines and marvels. In Cross-Sections Man-of-War, an 18th-century sailing warship is peeled open deck by deck, exposing rigging, cannon, and the crew who kept it running. Cross-Sections Castle does the same for a 14th-century stone fortress, unpacking its defenses, kitchens, and living quarters. More Incredible Cross-Sections and Incredible Cross-Sections of Everything broaden the lens further, tackling an eclectic mix of vehicles, buildings, and inventions with the same forensic detail. Incredible Body Cross-Sections turns Biesty's eye inward, mapping the systems and structures inside the human body, while Incredible Cross-Sections closes the set with another sweep of Biesty's signature cutaway artwork. Across all six titles, factual captions sit alongside sprawling illustrations, rewarding readers who like to linger over a page and follow a single line from cover to cargo hold. The included poster book lets six of the most striking spreads live on a wall as ongoing references. Assembled together, this collection captures a body of work that has introduced readers to engineering, history, and biology without ever feeling like a textbook.
