Create a 3D interactive hardcover book with a flipping front cover in pure HTML and CSS. Requirements: - Hardcover with front cover rotated on Y-axis (transform-origin: 0% 50%). - Hover state rotates front cover open to rotateY(-130deg) to reveal internal page content. - 3D perspective angle and realistic drop shadows. - Zero JavaScript. Return one HTML file with a <style> block.
How to build it, step by step
- 1
Set perspective on the container and preserve-3d on the book wrapper.
- 2
Anchor cover rotation to its left spine edge using transform-origin: 0% 50%.
- 3
Rotate cover open on hover to reveal inner pages.
Customisation tips
- Use backface-visibility: hidden on front cover so internal text doesn't show in reverse when open.
