(Maybe the moderators could give me some advice on this!) However, Chila has kindly sent scans of the project page and title page to me off list. The attribution to Akira Yoshijawa (sic) is not in the 1st Edition. Someone has clearly added the attribution. But who? And why? (All we know about them at present is that they couldn't spell Yoshizawa.) Does anyone know the story of this republication and who might have edited it? I am also wondering if any other changes were made. Dave

The Magazine Cover Box did not appear in 'Das Lustiges Papierfaltbuechlein' by Johanna Huber. Most of the issues of this book are in my hands. But you found the folding instruction in "Handbuechlein der Papierfaltekunst." by Joseph Sperl, published in 1904 on page 18 (or 1920 edition on the same page).
