| Teach Yourself Origami aka Origami 1 by Robert Harbin, 1968 | |||||||
| This
book by Robert Harbin was published in in 1968., in
hardback as 'Teach Yourself Origami: The Art of
Paperfolding' by The English Universities Press and in
paperback as 'Origami, The Art of Paperfolding' by Hodder
Paperbacks. In 1969 the paperback version was republished as 'Origami 1: The Art of Paperfolding'. The paperback was retitled ‘Origami: The Art of Paper-Folding’ in 1969. As far as I know the content of all three editions was the same. Information on this page has been taken from the 1969paperback edition. ********** The book contains: A Preface by the author. A Short History of Origami, based on (largely unreliable) information provided by Peter Van Note, which, however, includes reference to an ms about paperfolding he has acquired. At present I am unable to identify the ms in question.
