I recently found another variation for making a book with the turkish map fold. This one is from Michelle Wilson. She’s made the fold (instructions here) and folded it in half, to form a spine, and then she’s sewn it into a folded piece of paper. This method lets you exploit the hidden folds. Wilson says ‘The text winds between the main pages and a set of “secret pages” between the folds, creating a narrative about what is seen and unseen, remembered and forgotten.’ One of the “secret pages” is shown in the second photo below.
Dear Susan,
Someone just sent me a link to this page – and lo and behold, there was my book! Thank you for featuring it, and for all your posts about the map fold, which I love. Here is another one I did with the map fold in reverse: http://michellewilsonprojects.com/the-forest-perilous/
Your blog is great – I hope to meet you one day in person!
