John OverholtI'm always on the lookout for books with features I've never seen before, and this is a 17th century day by day account of a siege of Copenhagen with little iconic images of typical occurrences during the siege that you could cut out of larger sheets at the back and paste in next to the relevant entries. It would have been much easier and cheaper to print that way than the printer embedding each image on its page. #newacquisition
Here's a copy where the owner did not paste all the images in, showing the guide letters for what images go where. It looks like my owner made a mistake, putting a b in the lower right where a d is called for. https://books.google.com/books?id=rbpBApk302cC&pg=PA29#v=onepage&q&f=false
Matthew Edney@overholt makes me think of some modern books about postage stamps featuring maps, with spaces left where the philatelist could paste in the right stamp … every copy I’ve ever seen has been quite unstamped!

Real Syntactic@overholt @mdorn @mhedney my child, who lived with ARFID, had this Cheerios Play Book made from thick card stock circa 2008. Cheerios become car tires, air bubbles, glasses rims. . . It must have been based on a coin book, but had to be dismantled after each use. (This is an ad image, not my child.)
Thanasis Kinias@overholt wow! That is so cool
kcoyle checking the perimeter@overholt It's a sticker book for adults.
Marta Kvande@overholt This is very like the sticker books I had as a kid!
@overholt any idea whether the Little Gidding community had access to this or if it was a larger phenomenon? (19thcenturyist here: excuse ignorant but fascinated questions.)
@mirijb2 No idea, but this book is several decades later than their first harmony, so it wouldn't have been an influence on creating it.
