There's one about 10 feet away from me right now. 

Yes, I am that Joseph Wu. Not that it really matters. And please call me Joseph or Joe. "Mr. Wu" is my dad. 

Joseph, I'm so jealous. Name the price whenever you feel like selling it!

Thanx Joseph. I've never seen a copy in real life. In fact, I dont even know what models are inside, but I've been trying to get my hands on a copy for well over 10 years now!
So when I'm around your area, I'll definitely come have a look. Thanx for the invitation!

I was able to check a copy of Viva! Origami out from the public library once before. They didn't have it in the Los Angeles Public Library system, but they did an interlibrary loan with one of the other library systems. I also used to check out Kawahata's Origami Fantasy all the time within the LAPL.
the problem is, I really want the book. Not to fold from, but more as a collectible!
Thanx for the advice anyway Jared.

The BOS mailing library have a copy that would enable you to at least see the book. I think you have mentioned that you are a member before, as they are to publish a booklet of yours at some point.

Of course this wouldn't help you in securing a copy to own.

Thanx, Insomniacfolder. I don't live in UK anymore, I might try the OUSA library!

with all its peaks & depths, as well as Origami .

Thanx Gordigami. I did ask Maekawa-san at the PCOC 2007 about it, but he wasnt very helpful.
I guess I'll just try a bit longer!!
