I (actually my father :roll: ) bought the book. I bought the one that costs €48,- since my father wouldn't want to take the risk of shipping costs,as I live in the Netherlands.

It arrived yesterday!It was quite a surprise since I wasn't at home,luckily my father would let me study the scale-theory :D
It still needs some practice,but hey,I've got the time!

41,09 € is only ~ 2 € / per week... time to start saving for Christmas :-)

However, with the ongoing deflation, it may be a little cheaper by Christmas.

Origamist388 - After you finish studying scale theory, I suggest that you spend an hour or so and just page all the way through the book, as a preview and overview. After that, I do recommend slowly reading it, and doing the exercises - it will improve your folding, and you'll learn lots about design, without even trying :-)

Well,I got the book and I have to say that I LOVE it!Although it gives a headache when I read in it for too long :roll: .The book is pretty much the only enjoyable thing now,since the weather is really bad,there was quite a storm yesterday.I succesfully folded 1 model,since I tried some others with too thick paper.
