Spent last night constructing a Regular Icosahedron from a beat-up copy of A Golden Guide: Seashores. There are some lovely bivalve diagrams.
The instructions were in Unit Polyhedron Origami by Tomoko Fuse.
I have a falling apart Essential Fantastic Four Volume One
that is just screaming to be turned into a 90 unit Truncated Icosahedron.

Pigs in Blankets
I wonder if tofu dogs fall into the weiner or the frankfurter family?
Pigs in Blankets + Potato Salad = Yum.

Edible Wild Plant: Mecha-Meck
Wild Potato Vine, or Mecha-Meck, or Man-of-the-Earth
This root weighed 15 pounds. It grows along roadsides and in open waste lands from Connecticut west to southern Ontario, Michigan, and Kansas, and south to Florida and Texas. Member of the morning-glory family and very close relative of the Sweet Potato.
From a lovely book by Oliver Perry Medsger, Edible Wild Plants (1939).
This one looks a bit like a dog--reminds me of a pet a Jack Kirby monster might have.

Binding
Considering binding techniques for 12/12. Think I'll keep it simple and stick with the 3 hole ledger variety. Better keep it to a small print run unless I can train my cat to punch holes while I'm at work.
My favorite bookbinding book is Japanese Bookbinding: Instuctions from a Master Craftsman by Kojiro Ikegami (1986). I really should buy my own copy.
Thank you, library--for unlimited renewals!
