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.

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.
