The talented Eric Jordan is back. This time he brings us a handy guide for dungeon delvers in the form of a medieval-era folding almanac. He not only shares an extensive gallery of the finished prop, but an entire thread about the creation process. That includes the trial and error approach he used to determine the page layout for the book. He not only had to deal with multiple pages, but those pages themselves unfold into even more leaves.
Wikipedia has a great write up about this unique style of pocket library.
"A folded almanac, sometimes called a physicians folded calendar, girdle book, or vade mecum, refers to a type of medieval English almanac consisting of multiple folios which are folded multiple times and bound together to create a dense yet compact vessel for information which would be used in medical practice."
