Awesome, so its in english.
So now on the for sure list is the Phoenix and Minotaur.

I'll be really disappointed if he just puts mostly published diagrams in it. Of course, the minotaur and phoenix are nice models and all, but I've really been looking forward to some of his less known models having a diagram or crease pattern. And Joe, his previous book had 19 diagrams, and you listed 21 (discluding ryujin). Its rather likely he could include all of those models, plus more in the book. I hope he includes a crease pattern section this time around. All the I know, is that of the only unpublished diagram is the phoenix, and he doesn't include any of his insects, i'm not buying it.

Remember that there are a lot of PPL, like me, that didn't had a chance to get most of the published diagrams. So if this book contains published diagrams I'll be happy to get it.

I wasn't expecting the Minotaur, but that is a nice addition. His last book had about 4 models that weren't previously published as diagrams, but I agree with you, I wouldn't mind to have them all in once place and pick-up the ones I missed. I'll get it either way, but I'd be elated if he included more of his unpublished works, there might be some more wild-cards in there as well.

My guesses about the contents:

- Phoenix (unpublished)
- Minotaur (published, but hard to find)
- Raccoon Dog (only taught in class, diagrams hard to find)
- Tree Frog (only taught in class, diagrams impossible to find)
- Veiltail Angelfish
- Hermit Crab
- Loggerhead Turtle
- Crane
- Cerberus (hopefully the more complex version)
- Spinosaurus
- Golden Retriever
- Cocker Spaniel
- Asian Elephant
- Styracosaurus (unpublished)
- Lion
- Little Bird
- Lyrebird
- Samurai Helmet Beetle
- Cicada Nymph
- Locust
- Sleipnir
- Horse

I could go for Tenma H7 diagrams any day.

I really hope to see the Pegasus 2.2 in the book. The model was created in 2002, so I think it's fairly possible it'll be put in the book as another magnum model, apart from the Phoenix.

Nice models, but I'm buying Shuki's book. I mean, most of these have been published before.

I think it so, too. Let's hope there will be more unpublished models...

they should be publishing a table of contents, soon. i'll keep checking their facebook.

Latest update: the book will also feature the Maple Leaf... ( bit of a let down).

at least it hasn't been published yet.

It is not unpublished. I have it...

Is that the front view of the maple leaf? Interesting. Anyway, I do look forward very much to this book and personally don't have any diagrams for the likely models with the exception of his Spino.

no it is the back of the leaf

Yeah, it looks like the back of the model, but I thought that would be a weird thing to photograph and perhaps he thought it would be neat to show veins on the front, I donno.
