| 'Nouveaux
Jeux et Occupations Pour les Petits' by Johanna Huber was
published by Fernand Nathan in Paris in 1951 (according
to Worldcat). It contains a section on paperfolding and
other incidental material. This page is based on an undated copy, a full copy of which can be accessed online here, which is most probably the first edition, or at least an early printing. **********
