what origami books do you own?

Post by polistes »

not sure where to post this

but i was wondering what books has everyone got because it can be really annoying people saying fold such and such a model from whatever book in the what to fold thread but you don't have it

so i was thinking if everyone posts a picture of all their books then people could suggest what models to fold from them

here are all mine

plus nick robinsons encyclopedia, passion origami and the two newest christmas books from the origami forum plus a few that i can't find and can't remember the names

I have alot of books, but I've been collecting origami books for 20 years or so. I'll tell you important books that are not in my collection: Tanteidan Convention books 1-3, 11-15 (I lost interest in origami for a few years), the Origami House publication of Nishikawa's works, and Tomoko Fuse's Mask book. I only have a few years worth of JOAS magazines but they were hardly worth paying so much for given that I could not read the articles and they only have one complex AND diagrammed model per issue.

I've once seen Mark Kennedy's collection, now that is amazing! It looked like he had every book and origami society publication from 50 years across the world.
