ABSTRACT:
A sheet 20 on which a map is printed is attached to and folded within a matchbook-like cover 11. Sheet 20 is then folded in a first plurality of accordion folds (30-34) from side-to-side to expose a free, unfolded corner (21) for being grasped between the thumb and forefinger. Sheet 20 is then folded in a second plurality of accordion folds (23, 34). The folds are made in such a manner as to maintain the free, unfolded corner (21) in position to be grasped by the thumb and forefinger and pulled in a continuous movement diagonally against the direction of both the side-to-side folds (30-34) and the top-to-bottom folds (23, 24) simultaneously while holding the cover (11) in the other hand. To close the map, the sheet 20 is moved with the thumb and forefinger diagonally towards cover 11 to aid the sheet in reassuming its side-to-side folds (30-34) and top-to-bottom folds (23, 24) for storage within cover 11.
