Advanced Books

[ckelly6]

Is anyone familiar with some more advanced origami books; stuff on par with Works of Kamiya and Origami Insects II. Im running out of things to fold!

If you like these you might go with the other ones from Origami House, like Insects I or Works of Seiji Nishikawa.
But the best you can do is probably just go with the Tanteidans. Their range is from simple to very very complex including various artist.

Thanks! Can you get tanteidans in the US? If so, where?

This is also a good shop to get to some nice origami books and papers. They also have the newest Tanteidan as well as the older ones. Just take a look

lang's origami insects and their kin probably remains the most difficult of the origami repertoire (harder than his origami insects 2).

he has some similarly difficult stuff in the original origami sea life, though there are models all along the spectrum.

I was looking around on origami-shop.com and found a few things I was interested in but was wondering if they accept dollars. The only currency I saw was euros. Does anyone know how to change that?

you could either find a site that shows you the exchange rate but I live in the UK and I have never had problems paying in GBP, paypal converts it automatically for you

I have purchased papers and books from http://www.origami-shop.com/ and even though the prices there are in Euros, they convert it to USD when charging your credit card / debit card. The tax rate applicable for EU countries is not applicable for non-EU countries, too.

This is what is specifically mentioned on the home page:

- If you're not in the euro area :
> you can change the currency near the flag at the top of this page
> We will convert your payment automatically in the currency of your country when your account will be debited.
> Login to your account to read cheaper prices without european fees.

I myself have never used the flag (that a new feature i guess, coz it wasn't there a few weeks ago) and was charged in USD at the applicable rate of conversion.
