Pure CSS 3D Flipbook Loader

Designer Josh Hillier created this loader. The name itself makes us understand about its design. The design of this loader is similar to the flipping of the book. A rectangle is used here and the design is made in such a way that a book is being flipped from the rectangle. So this design gave the logic to keep the name of the loader. Three div classes are made for the effect. The three classes are for the effects that we can see in the book. We feel like there are three pages in the book that are being flipped.
