1995 Dover Cover

Comments: While there's not much magic in here, Paper Folding is an associated art, some folds can be used with magic tricks, and there are a couple of old tricks in here, such as the Afghan Bands and Walking Through a Postcard. From the 1995 Dover edition, "Fun with Paper Folding and Origami is a retitled slightly reformatted (1995) republication of the revised 1960 Dover edition (entitled Paper Folding for Beginners) of the work originally published as Fun With Paper Folding by Fleming H. Revell Company, New York, in 1928."
