As far as I know this bibliography was not subsequently revised.

Legman cannot resist adding acerbic comments to some of the entries, in one of which which he calls Heerwart's book, 'The end-point of the sterile complexity of theFroebel folds', clearly betraying his failure to understand the Froebelian emphasis on experiment and creativity.

Legman sent a copy of this bibliogtaphy to Robert Harbin on 8th April 1955. (Information from Laura Rosenberg.) Harbin subsequently used it as the basis of the bibliography in his book 'Paper Magic', published in 1956.

Legman also gifted a copy to Lillian Oppenheimer in 1957 (see below).

Notes on the entries and links to pages relating to the sources mentioned can be found at the foot of this page.
