how to make a flip book

Have you considered a closer look at Apple's iBooks Author application in the Mac App Store. It is free, and allows one to build interactive iBooks that allow one to “flip” among pages with a single click. Or, were you thinking more along the lines of a Keynote, or standalone PDF presentation solution?

Even Pages, to a certain extent, can create flippable content in an ePub/iBook format.

Well there is this thing called google and whilst it does not actually do Flip Books itself, it does find a lot of Apps that do.

Now did you want us to do the search for you and list all the results here or do you want to make this like:

"Give a man a fish and..."?

Most of the web-based, or standalone HTML5 flipbook solutions will require you to code in HTML/CSS3 and JQUERY. There are JavaScript libraries to convert PDF for viewing in these flipbooks too. These solutions cost $$$.

Here's one from Envato that offers a demo.

pdfs open in all browsers and whilst they don't turn pages when clicking, they scroll, that behaviour can be changed in the actual pdf itself if you have a pdf editor.

Acrobat Pro lets you edit pdfs for all sorts of interactivity including localised buttons and even included media.

There are other cheaper alternatives to Acrobat Pro.

PDFs are very capable. I had a client quite a few years ago for whom I did entire presentations in pdfs because of their compactness, excellent layout and portability and they allowed zooming into details. The results at the time were substantially better then Powerpoint.

If it just is a page turner, not an animator, or fake page curler, then just print a document to pdf.

That works in any application on a Mac.
