    Tim has a variety of unusual books in his library.
    Stopping Time: The Photographs of Dr Harold Edgerton shows pictures where motion has been frozen in time! Tim had a brief correspondence with Harold Edgerton about 40 years ago. It took Dr Edgerton, also known as "Papa Flash" many years to perfect the "Milk-Drop Coronet" picture which Tim shows here. Another favourite picture that Tim shows is a bullet being fired through three balloons, so we can see three stages of a balloon bursting, all in one photo!
    Next, a book that contains many designs of folding table napkins, and then a book on folding towels. A special kind of origami!
    Tim loves novelty umbrellas, and the next book, which comes from Italy, contains a very unusual example - it looks as if the umbrella is inside out, but in fact it is designed for holding over your pet when you take them for a walk. The whole book is a catalogue of luxury items for your pampered pet!
    'Skyshades' is a book of tiny whimsical landscapes.
    Finally a book from Russia containing all sorts of visual illusions, which also contains an interesting piece of piano sheet music. Tim plays the piano and was intrigued because he could see there was something strange about the music. It turns out it is a well know piece, but has been written backwards!

    The piece at 6:42 is mirrored (maybe rotated is a better word) along the middle such that it stays the same if turned upside down.

    One time when I was younger I accidentally did a basic stewarding course (don't ask) and one of the things we had to learn before our final 'practical test' was how to do 3 different types of those napkin folding designs. We did the one on the front of the manual (it's actually pretty easy once you get the knack of it), and the flower one from the top right corner of the back of the manual. The other one we did isn't there I don't think. There was actually a lot more to learn than I thought, at first I didn't think you could get 7 full days out of setting up tables and stuff lol.

    The first musical score that is shown says "This plays the same upright and inverted upside down". So at least the first one is not supposed to be played backwards (the right side up), but inverted and read as if it was a normal notation. Not sure about the 3/4 one.
