Hi
I am pleased to announce the release of VOG's book #2 for early 2014.

Warning: This is a fake cover just made to promote the book :



3 models revealed :
- Turtle by Nguyễn Hùng Cường


- Pelican by Quyet


- Shark by Vu (one of the most complex model ever with 290 steps and 8 hours folding)

:O wow! That looks awesome!!! I am so gonna start saving... How much is the price be estimated to be, Mr. Terry?

Looks amazing so far! Can't wait!

here's hoping for the quyet vampire.

Awesome!
I hope you'd also make this available as an eBOOK just like the first VOG book.

Man! That shark is awesome! How much will be the price?

Thanks Guys. Price should be around 34 € for Europe (1 € more to pay the 16 additional pages)
or 32 € for Outside Europe without taxes.

The book will be available as ebook also.
As usual, you could buy the real book and have ebook for just 1.5 € more, or buy the e-book alone.

I'm as likely to squeeze the copper out of a penny as often as the next guy, but for a really nicely compiled book of desirable models, whatever Nicolas charges will be 1/10th of its' actual worth .
Can you tell that I'm leaning toward obtaining this impending book ?

No way! I've thought that a few of the books in the past were a bit too expensive, but I recently got a job. I don't make a ton of money, but I can work about a week and a half to get that book. Thanks a lot for the reply, Mr. Terry! I'm definitely gonna be one of your first people ordering it! Also, would you think of doing a book/paper deal? Like the "Works of Satoshi Kamiya gift paper pack" kind of thing? because that would be awesome!

No way ?...
When the creativity, innumerable hours of design, tedious hours of diagramming, publishing labour, printing costs, materials & other expenditures are taken into consideration, my personal opinion would have to assess each model's worth at least in the $ 10.00 range. Each model ...
( In reality, even that is probably a conservative, cheapskate estimate .)
How many models would be in a typical book ?
Do the math ...

wow! awesome, will the book contain nguyen cuong's gorilla?

Haha I said for me. I'm the 14 year old middle kid in a family with 9 kids so money is a bit hard for me to come by. I probably should of stated that. I recently got a job though, and I am making more money in a week then I have in a few months now. And yes, I totally agree with you. I said in previous posts that I'm am gonna be one of the first people to order it.

I also do understand the tediousness of diagramming, and creating models. I never said that I didn't. All I'm saying is that for me, a few months back, some of the books seemed a bit pricey. But now that I have a bit of money, it's more affordable

Wonder what the chances of this book containing two sharks? Not that I don't like the one above, it's fantastic, but there is another out there from a member of the VOG that is so, so nice...

I'm sorry, personal affront was not my intention.
As a matter of fact, you are to be applauded for the wisdom of allocating somewhat meager resources toward high quality product .
I was simply pointing out that which designers and publishers are too polite to do themselves .
One final observation, then I will be quiet.
In the United States, as well as elsewhere, minimum wage is under $ 10.00 an hour.
For all the designers & publishers of origami models, considering the many hours expended, the remuneration would quite possibly be only a few cents an hour in comparison.
I merely would like to make a personal observation of gratitude to all of those who enrich our lives, because of dedication & love for the art & craft of origami.
The VOG Book # 2 is an excellent example.

one can only assume you mean huong's great white. even if it (and his gorilla) don't make the cut, you can at least take some comfort that he diagrams and submits fairly regularly, so there's an above average chance it will show up some where.
