Are there any books that cover ONLY traditional origami models? How about web sites? Thanks.

There are many books featuring traditional models, but I can't tell you a name at the moment because I'm not interested in them.

On David Petty's homepage you can find a growing list of traditional models in his "Model(s) of the Month"-section: http://members.aol.com/Ukpetd/

You should also check out Origami Club http://origami-club.com/en/ . That site has a lot of designs, including a section on traditional models.

Yes, but note that only those models shown in the traditional section really are traditional, the others are by Fumiaki Shingu.

Try last book of Kawasaki Toshizaku, Doctor's origami world, great book full of traditional models. See Gilad's pages (http://www.giladorigami.com, section book review).

Try John Montroll's "Easy Origami." Dirt cheap, too.
