[DCRM-L] looking for a term

[Ruth Ellen St. Onge]

Hello,

These are also referred to as "peep shows" or "peep show books" and/or
"tunnel books" according to Berger, *The Dictionary of the Book*, 2nd
edition, p. 336. He refers to a chapter by Emily Martin and Alice Austin:
"Book Theater: The History of the Tunnel Book," in *Suave Mechanicals*, no.
4. However, although "peepshow" appears in AAT it seems to refer to the
boxes or cabinets with internal pictures. Tunnel book is not currently
included in AAT or RBMS 's Controlled Vocabulary.
