| The ABCs of Origami by Claude Sarasas, 1964 | |||||||
| 'The ABCs of Origami'
by Claude Sarasas was published by Charles E Tuttle in
San Francisco in 1964. It is a republication of the book
'Origami: Folding Paper for Children' by Claude Sarasas, which was first
published by Kodansha in Tokyo in 1951. As far as I know,
except for the Introduction, the two versions have
identical contents. This book is an illustrated alphabet book of origami designs, the primary language of the alphabet being English (although Otarid for Seal is strange!) but the names of the designs also being given in French and Japanese. The majority of the designs are constructed using cuts. **********
