Dear David,
in the Padore Archive we have a sample of the 1st Dutch edition of Satte
van Breda “Het grote vouwboek” (Hulshorst: Uitgeverij van Breda. 1955) and
a copy of the translation into German from the 2nd Dutch 1963 edition,
published as “Kempers Grosses Papierfaltbuch. Falten und
Thanks Kate! Tessellations are a great example of something that's usually communicated by crease pattern, but without the skills to read the pattern it's very hard to decipher.One of the things I've learned from folding and teaching tessellations is that there's a common misconception that the

(which I believe was published in 1955)?
The reason for asking is that I am trying to work out how it differs from the

some inherent prejudices on my part.
I find the repitious folding of the modules mind-numbingly boring.
