So, years ago my cousin Sam and I discovered the work of Peter Max. He's best known for his work on the Beatles' YELLOW SUBMARINE, but what we liked best was his iconic PETER MAX's PAPER AIRPLANE BOOK. I have vague memories of buying this little book at the Quick-Sack, our local 7/11, probably not too long after it came out in 1971.
The fun thing about this book was that each page is a paper airplane. You're supposed to pull out the page, fold it as shown, and voila! Paper airplane. There probably aren't too many intact copies, since it was made to be perishable, but I came across one this Christmas and sent it along to my cousin in memory of days gone by.
