Robert Lang's New Book
My aunt says that she heard Robert Lang had published a new book in early January, but I have been unable to find anything about it. I did find out about this book that is supposed to come out this month, but I have only found the title: Origami 4. If anyone can help me, could you try to put up pictures of the covers, or at least give some advice?

Robert J. Lang has a second book in work that will be concentrating on tessellations and the mathematics behind them. Although he already has collected and written down a lot it will still need some work and time until it will be finished. He told me at the German convention that his personal target is around the end of this year so that it could get in print at the beginning of 2010.

I should add that Robert Lang's next book (Twists, Tilings, and Tessellations) is really about geometric/mathematical origami in general, not just tessellations, and I suspect even the tessellations part will be more about the math behind the tessellations than the visual aspect of the models, although I could be wrong about that.
If you want a good introduction to folding tessellations, I'd look at Eric Gjerde's "Origami Tessellations: Awe-inspiring geometric designs", it's a really fantastic book! I've only seen a couple people fold from it, which is a pity because it's one of the best-done origami books I've seen.
