yes himanshu, I want also to put new photos. It's just a lack of time. Indeed, I must give the finished book to the printer for this monday and I've so many things to do before ...... .
For now, I would like to share with you the project of the cover :
Hope you like it
Nicolas:
This cover conveys a very attractive and relaxing portal to your book.
I found it interesting that you used the James Bond theme in the title, adds a bit of drama and excitement to the adventures that lie ahead.
This will be a terrific book, impatiently anticipated by all !
Thanks for all your tremendous work towards this exhaustive effort.
May I wish success to all who cope with the mountains & valleys of Life,
with all its peaks & depths, as well as Origami .
Montroll's model.
The book include an hommage of Lionel Albertino to this great master
The design of the bear is remarkable, in particular the way in which are create the ears (I do not speak about the simple pleat-fold but rather about the CP)
Albertino's model : Acrocinus.
For his insect books collection, Albertino created 85 insects.
He published 16 in the first tome.
Probably the other tome will not be publish. That's a pity.
That's why I ask him to offer me one of his best insect that he doesn't diagram it.
83 steps. An interesting way in the folding sequence to increase the legs and antennae. I like also the elegant and pleasant folding sequence, very different compare to the actual Brut Box pleating. Albertino worked also a lot to distribute cleverly the layers.

Wow Nicolas, the cover is stunning! It looks extremely professional. Very clean, and peaceful looking - Cuong's complex design certainly grabs my attention! Congratulations on your new works! I'm anxiously awaiting the release
I think the book is at the publishers at the moment and should be available soon.
Nicolas has been very busy the last bit, having been to Japan, USA and now the upcoming convention in France also.
I guess the best would be to check his website, but it should be available in the very near future!

Sorry for my delay to reply to you but as Quentin said, I have been very busy in the last weeks.
Today, the book has been flashed, means all the black and white page have been print on metalic sheets to be print on paper.
Color page also has been print.
In the next days, cover will be print and then all the book will be build at the end of november.
The final date of publication is beginning of december, maybe end of november if luck.
I should be able to post some new contents and details about the books in the next days.
I am very interested in your new book since this eagle is the most beautiful origami model I ever seen. With the new version, not only the wings but also the head feels so alive. I will buy the book as soon as you release it, only for this model.
Who folded the eagle on the frontpage of your book? Was it the creator himself or was it you Terry? If it was you, how many attempts did it take to get it so good? How long time did it take to fold it? Of what paper was it fold, and of what size?
