We have been asked if the Origami Canada convention diagram book is for sale and why it isn't available to everybody.
No the book is not for sale. It was printed for the express use of Origami Canada attendees. The convention book is © Origami Canada. Like all other printed diagrams, they are protected by copyright and not authorized for public distribution. People are not entitled to something just because it is printed. Folders paid hard-earned money to attend our convention. The diagram book is a little compensation for their investment as well as the contributing artists' generosity for our efforts. No doubt it will be copied. But on every page, one can read: Permission is granted for duplication of these diagrams for personal use of Origami Canada participants and for teaching purposes. The model may not be used commercially (sold, displayed, photographed or taught) without the express consent of the designer. This publication is © Origami Canada and is for the express purpose of Origami Canada participants. If someone wants a diagram of a particular model, they can simply Google it to see if one if available or contact the creator and ask (not presume) about availability. The OUSA digital purchase plan is terrific. Jamie
