[EKStationers] Vade Mecums

[Helen Pinto]

The picture I mentioned is an especially good one, since one of the pages is 
opened up, and it's easy to deduce the directions of the folds from it.  I 
can only guess at the actual number of leaves since I don't know how many 
are under the open sheet, but several, at least, are on top.  This one has a 
velvet cover that got loved to death- it's missing a lot of its pile.
Funny you should mention the hanging strings on the pouches- pouches without 
them are right up there with cutting your meat with a dagger.  After more 
than thirty years of trying, there are still people I can't convince about 
the strings or that there is a difference between a belt knife and a dagger. 
Untying strings is merely an inconvenience compared to cutting your thumb 
every time you bear down on your meat...
