Abstract
In a method for producing large-scale pages of a book, one or a plurality of long sheets of paper or other flexible material is folded in an alternative forward and reverse direction along a single axis, yielding an accordion fold structure. Such pages are bound along a single edge to yield a book of enormous proportion. According to one exemplary embodiment, each page of the book is of approximately five feet by seven feet in dimension, yielding a compelling visual display that may contain life-sized portraits, brilliant landscapes, detailed maps, a panoply of disparate visual images, text, diagrams, or blank pages for creative uses. Methods of binding may include tabbing folds of the pages and then stitching through the tabs.
