maybe origami design secrets is one of the books that you surely need to OWN but not necessarily need to READ its a great book with good models but also a worthy pool of design-knowledge. a big YES for buying that book

For me, reading ODS was like reading Bjarne Stroustrup's book on C++ (or a book about Java programming).
Bohohohohoring.
(But once I was able to undertand a bit about Circle packing, I got really motivated to continue reading until the last few chapters...)

In that case you'll really want to stay far away from Robert's next book…

I would say YES! buy it.
ODS has been my bed book for almost 2 years (actually it was my frist Origami book)
But I think you should think about this:
1- If you want to get a more deep knowledge about origami, go for it.
2- If you want a book just by the pleasure of folding, go for other book.
Nevertheless ODS is a must-have book for every origamist (I think).

Yeah, I heard it was way out on the technical side.
For now, there's far too much stuff for me to learn in ODS that I don't think I even have the right to peer into the pages of Origami4 without going blind
.Maybe someday I will ... heheeh.

Robert langs going to publish a new origami book which focuses on the technical side! Can't wait!!!

Last time I talked to Robert he showed me a couple chapters. Let's just say there's some hardcore math.
Origami^4 is something else. It's the proceeds from 4OSME (4th International meeting of Origami, Science, Mathematics, and Education)
Robert has his own book that he's working on.
