| Winter Nights Entertainments by R M Abraham, 1932 | |||||||
| 'Winter
Nights Entertainments' by R M Abraham was published by
Constable and Constable in London in 1932 and later
reprinted under the title 'Easy to Do Entertainment and
Diversions With Coins, Cards, String, Paper and Matches'
by Dover publications in 1961. The work contains a chapter specifically devoted to Paper Folding and a few other paperfolding related items in other chapters. This page is based on a 1934 printing of the work but I believe that the contents are identical to the 1932 first edition. The original cover of the first edition was however blue rather than red. **********
