Maybe.

Like... ahh screw it, skewer all your models showcased in the book with one long kebab stick and snap a cool picture of it.

I had the best idea..
Ill fold human figure in a pose that looks like hes being skewered, then ill skewer him!

Hey guys, I've almost finalized what models are going to be in my book, these are the photos in a set on Flickr:

I will add more models later, but I hope you like these ones

Concerning photo diagrams: Use a lot of descriptions. The #1 problem with photo diagrams are that there are only before/after pics and hard to find reference points. So describe everything as clearly as possible.

well on the last page you could say something like "if you download this book you burn in hell" then people would atleast be embarrassed about downloading it lol

Nick Terry did that.

Thanks Axel!

Sy Chen described the deal with Lulu.com to me at CenterFold. If I've got this right, they'll do the printing, and whatever you charge over the printing cost, they take 25%. That is easily the best deal of which I've heard.

@redheadorigami - I think Nicolas Terry is probably the most experienced for e-books in the Origami community, plus you'll get a personalized touch. Don't expect to be a millionaire before you're 14 from your sales, but look at it as a learning experience, because each book that you publish gets easier, so that you can focus on the content, worrying less about the publishing process. Also, I believe it adds interest if you can order the models from simple to more complex, perhaps showing how one method builds on the previous, making them easier to learn to fold. A short story about each model, or a short running narrative, can add more interest. How would you explain to a friend, especially targeted audience the background and inspiration for each model...

@polistes - I like the Labrador, the rose, and maybe the butterfly. If they were part of a collection, such as in OUSA, I might be more interested in buying the collection to learn the Lab.

Understood, Thanks.

Thanks Hank, right now at the moment, Im looking for a good diagramming software, and Im adding the back stories to the models.
