It works (of course it does!). Now I can create a funny booklet with
my MetaPost twiddlings. :-)

I had to try it out on paper, but it turns out I had understood the
text correctly: the same idea, but only two cuts.
Top row, left to right: 1,2,3
Middle row, left to right: 6, 5, 4, all upside down
Bottom row, left to right: 7, 8, 9
Cuts 1-2/6-5 and 5-4/8-9. The cut paper is like letter S (or a snake
or meander, whatever you wish to call it). When folded, the back page
remains blank because it is from the underside of the paper due to the
odd number of pages - not necessarily a bad thing. I can always slap a
copyright sticker or signature on that back cover...
For trial I took an A4 and cut off the bottom to make it square that
makes quite nice 7x7 cm pages. Not handy for continuous text, but for
short poems/thoughts or graphics/art it work out. I need to play
around a bit, but then I can post the results in my blog. :-)
Thank you,
Mari
