>Just read this capsule review in "The New Yorker" of 11nov13: "On >Paper" by Nicholas A Basbanes. This buoyant, encyclopedic history >celebrates paper in all its forms. <snip> > He profiles librarians, an origami master [I wonder who?] Spoiler alert: Michael LaFosse. (Also Erik Demaine and me.)

We origami folk don't show up until pretty far into the book, but I was hooked on the fascinating stories and history well before. Robert
