Hows that?

Re-reading it I see. It actually read the other way, obviously unintentionally. If I could mistake it, anyone could, so clarification is a good thing!

I hope your book sales are brisk. My publisher is claiming that they'll send galleys for my book later this week! Wish me luck.

Check here, there are 4 topics on copyright.

I need help in making an origami book, any tips or recommendations at all...
The book is going to be primarily tessellations, but i will throw in 10 or so representational models, like my sea serpent, duck, etc...
I will post pictures of models that are going to be in the book in about a week, and the diagramming style is going to be photo diagrams, like Eric Gjerde`s book, in most cases (for the tessellations as they are incredibly hard to diagram otherwise).
So yeah... if anyone has got any tips or help, please post them here...
(By the way, I have asked Josh about his book, so dont bother telling me off about asking other authors.)
Did you looked at my old thread? viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8152

I remember you were there as well :).

I don't think so, I really prefer representational models over tesselations and don't like photo diagrams... You made two choices I don't like :lol: If it's cheap I might consider it though, but if I don't I'll still be supporting this book.

Heh, I dont know if i said before, but its not all tessellations, more like 2/3 tessellation, 1/3 representational..
But yeah, I can see where your getting from, thanks for your support! :mrgreen:

I've never folded tessellations before... it sounds fun!

Only problem is my mom doesn't really like buying online books and paper... She says they're all fraud and they might steal her money, so she won't get me ANY books at all. Way to stunt my origami knowledge... D:
