I suppose I'll have a better opportunity to ask this question than
a gift wrap discussion on Making Light. Did anyone else here find
their curiosity snagged by this line from Count Zero?
...It was wrapped in a single sheet of handmade paper,
dark gray, folded and tucked in that mysterious Japanese way that
required neither glue nor string, but she knew that once she'd
opened it, she'd never get it folded again.
If so, did you have any more luck than I ever did finding a way to
accomplish this? It sounds so plausible and so elegant. He might
have made it up from whole cloth, but doggone it, this is something
that ought to exist. Every year I seem to waste a few sheets
of gift wrap thinking "This time I've got the answer," but so far
I've never been right. Somewhere in the vast collected memory banks
of the flourosphere, does there exist a pointer to this particular
bit of (possibly fictitious) knowledge? I'd sure appreciate any
hint that anyone could share.
