Jacob's Ladder was originally a toy, but it also can be a book. In my first instructional book, Creating Handmade Books (much of which got folded into Making Handmade Books: 100+ Bindings, Structures & Forms [Amazon link]), I mentioned that I had seen a book by Paddy Thornbury that was a Jacob's Ladder, then spent much time trying to figure out how to make one. I included the instructions in both books. They are on page 142 in MHB; I have since followed them myself, and I am glad to say that the instructions work.
A book, a toy, and now a book art video. I present Fly on a Ladder, two stories of flying and ladders, one based on Jacob's dream from Genesis 28.12, the other my own.
