Origami books

Lucky guy ! I think that it is difficult to find a copy of Brilliant Origami outside of a library..... Where were you able to strike gold !

- Hank Simon

Now I feel really bad. Back in 1999, an officemate borrowed my Brilliant Origami book, hoping to fold something to impress his girlfriend. He failed to fold anything. To save face, the jerk lent my book to his girlfriend. A week later, I asked for the book back but he suddenly developed amnesia. He did pay me back the amount I got the book for ... but to date, I've not been able to find another copy .

Thanks

The is a great book and was responsible for my re-introcution to origami after a LONG layoff. I got mine from a shop in the Japan pavillion at Epcot - it almost made up for how sick mission space made me feel!

Thanks Dave Brill for an excellent book and for rekindling my love of folding.

Since we are on this topic, I am going to display two models from that book I fold recently, right after I got it back from a friend who had borrowed from me over a year ago:

The nut is my favorite Brill model

My favourite is the matchbox, which I have sat on my desk right now, but alas no camera. My work colleague told me it was a fire hazard!

Thanks to the links, master Dave! Prices are excellent as your book...

Back to the first question:

Can you name a few Origami books an (advanced) Origami folder can't life without? Hope you can help me out!

What about Origami step by step of Robert Harbin? Its also excelent work with excellent model! It is still possible to by at abbooks or somewhere else.
