Dear origamists, After several years, I would like to return passionate and active in the origami world, at least as far as book collecting is concerned, with the hope, maybe one day, of being able to preserve a paper copy of what the history of origami has made and pass it on to posterity.
I wanted to know (even in private messages, if the topic is somehow 'boring') about anyone who runs it's own collection (books and/or magazines), in printed paper form (not pdf). Old style, let's say :-) I wanted to share info and knowledge about old books, what exists, what was published. >From time to time I also find (very) old books which I already own, on auction sites, stores, and I thought they might be interesting for other collectors... Just to give clarity about the "size", I have something like 3 thousand books, some very rare, and a few dozens of thousand publications (mags, bulletins, newsletters, convention books...) ... always looking for new additions but also to share and collaborate, if possible. Surely, at a certain time (sooner rather than later), everything will go to the origami community. My dream is to find a Book library in some big city, which would acquire (for free) everything for me, and make my collection available to a large audience of people... but in the era of the eBook I guess it will stay a dream :-( Lorenzo -- Lorenzo Lucioni Duesseldorf - DE lorenzo.luci...@gmail.com
