Illustrator Stephen Biesty (1961-2004) is famous for his incredibly detailed and accurate pictures of the world around us, past and present and he specialises in cutaway sections, it could be a castle or the liner Queen Mary. This book, published in 2014, is probably of more interest to boys as it features large vehicles.
There are only eight spreads with plenty factual captions relating to the picures. It's printed thickish card, this because each picture has several lift-up tabs with words about what the tabs cover printed on the underside, for example the jumbo jet has six tabs. A nice touch is that these tabs are not obviously indicated, you have run your fingers over pictures to find them.
I think it's worth searching net sellers as you can find the book really cheap (though don't forget to add the postage).
