[Origami] Sighting - Netflix "The Last Bus"

2022-09-11 Thread OrigamiX
About 6:40 into 2nd episode of Netflix "The Last Bus" a brochure is made 
into a paper swan.


So far, that's been the pretty much the highlight.

Hi Lorenzo,

It's nice to see a fellow book collector. I've been building an origami
book library since I discovered origami books as a child. I'm nowhere near
3k, but I've garnered ~360 books and growing(not counting
pamphlets/magazines/etc). I too am interested in the modern evolution of
the artform portrayed in books(I've foolishly toyed with the idea of
shelving them all according to year). I think the oldest book I have is an
Isao Honda book from the 50's. I really like being able to see the
evolution of folding techniques, diagramming, popular model subjects at the
time, etc.

[Origami] Origami book collection(s)

2022-09-11 Thread Lorenzo via Origami
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 :-(
