This is a 2018 repackaging of a book from 2006, “The Origami Giftbox“. The title is slightly odd, only 7 of the models are traditional. Had anyone contacted me beforehand, I could have pointed this out, but book titles are generally decided by the sales team, who come up with a title regardless of the contents, such as my “Beginning Origami Kit”, which is really not suitable for beginners.

The package consists of a soft-back book, where some effort has been made to make the diagrams as large as possible (not always the case) and 120 pull-out sheets of plain and patterned paper, of a decent quality. £10 seems a bit rich though….

A few clips from videos I’m making for a forthcoming book, “Origami in Motion”, 20 superb “action” designs

They are a publisher with whom I’ve now written several books (with 3 more to come) of which I’m very proud. However, they are mostly available in French or Italian only. This is especially galling regarding “British Origami”! If you are a publisher, or have contact with one, please encourage them to contact NuiNui and snap up the English rights to my collection!

I’m working on a book of “action” models (from a square) – if you have any suggestions, I’d be delighted to her them!

Had a lovely gift today from Nosy Crow, publishers of a couple of superb books of mine – a signed card and a bird-shaped envelope opener. Very thoughtful, most unusual & much appreciated.
