Hi all, Just thought we'd let you know of something new at The Origami Source: PDF downloads of every OrigamiUSA convention book, going back to the first one in 1981. There are some amazing and historically significant designs in these books, and they provide a wonderful view of how the origami world, and the world of origami design, have evolved over the past 30-odd years. Best of all is the pricing: $10.00 each, but only $5.00 each for members of OrigamiUSA! (So if you're going to be buying a bundle of them, you might consider joining.)
Collections from 1988 onward had pictorial tables of contents, and you can download those for free as a preview of the book contents. There's 32 new uploads. In order to not cover up all the wonderful downloads that continue to be submitted by our many individual sellers, we've pushed them down in the "latest downloads" listings, but you can see them all here: https://origamiusa.org/catalog/books-downloads/series/collection And in the same vein, the newest addition to the PDF catalog is the PCOC 2013 Southwestern Origami Models, the book from the recent (and wildly successful) Pacific Coast Origami Conference in Albuquerque, NM. You can find it here: https://origamiusa.org/catalog/products/pcoc-2013-southwestern-origami-model s-pdf I should mention that all of these were made possibly by OrigamiUSA volunteers who scanned, PDF'd, resized, remargined, uploaded, and meta-data-entered all the documents. Not to mention the generous contributors to the original publications! Thanks to you all! And last, since I mentioned "individual sellers," just a reminder that anyone can sell PDFs of their own designs via The Origami Source; you don't have to be a member of OrigamiUSA, and you get the same cut (60-70% of the list price, depending on price) as everyone. The online PDF store has now been running for just over a year, has sold many hundreds of downloads, and has paid out hundreds of dollars to our sellers. There's plenty of room for more! Enjoy, Robert O/b/o The Source, Webteam, Archives, PCOC, and Publications of OrigamiUSA
