Like others who replied to JC Nolan's question, I've been using and
teaching the simple, 1-cut pamphlet for so long that I have no idea where I
first learned it, let alone who created this brilliant model.
For a children's book festival in 2009, I made hand-drawn diagrams for the
booklet and turned them into a fold-and-cut "Make Your Own Book" 8.5 x 11
inch handout. (I'd be happy to send a PDF.)
When I teach the booklet, I always urge folders to try using it in other
ways, e. g., as a module for building.
2 more riffs on the theme:

Paula Beardell Krieg's Book Arts comment on her (lovely ) diagrams pushes
the date back to a book she saw in the 1960s.

I just spotted this diagram for a much more elaborate book in a box by the
book-arts genius, Ed Hutchins. I haven't tried it (or seen his Book
Dynamics!) but it looks like a lot of fun.
