Secrets of Origami

Format: Hardback

Condition: Poor Condition — £19.07
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Origami is the Japanese term for the art of paper-folding. From Japan it has come to the Western world. Robert Harbin, well-known as a writer and television entertainer on this and similar subjects, has devoted a great deal of his time and energies to assembling and presenting the wide range of international expertise contained in this work.

The models in this book have sufficient variety of ease and complexity to recommend origami to everyone as a fresh, amusing and sometimes exasperating pastime. For those who are experimenting for the first time with paper of different shapes and colours, or for those who have retained the enthusiasm of their schooldays for complicated and startling structures from the most unpromising materials, Robert Harbin has written a delightful manual of entertainment.

Described within this book are 138 models, illustrated with 1400 line drawings and 73 photographs.
