This work is the first in a series of 10 Sunny Origami books, all by the same author and publisher. In his article 'Sunny Origami a.k.a. Circular Origami or Round Origami' (which can be accessed here. David Lister gives the titles of the other books in the series as:

Swan Book, 1968

Bowwow Book, 1968

The Life of Buddha, 1968

The Life of Shinran Shonin, 1969

The Life of Jesus Christ, 1969

Lion Book, 1970

Frog Book 1972.

Cat Book 1972.

Little Red Riding Hood 1972.

All these books are of a similar format and explain ways of making designs by combining simple pictorial elements, made from folded, and often cut, paper circles of varying sizes, into multipiece collages.These books do not use standard origami diagrams, but, instead, contain a folded exemplar of each design together with a simple explanation of how each of the pieces that make up the design is to be folded / cut. The pages for the current work and the Bowwow Book contain a complete set of images of the exemplars. The pages for the other works in the series only contain images of the covers, publishing information and introductory material.

This page gives details of the cover, and those pages containing actual folded designs, of the 'Angel Book'. (Note that although this volume is called the 'Angel Book', the angel only appears on the cover.)

6 other books in the series were published in 1970 or before. There are individual pages for these 6 books (although these only show the individual covers, introductions and publishing details of the books, but not necessarily all the individual designs that the books contain).
