The Origami Forum

I've been trying to buy "Origami for Interpreters" by Roman Diaz,
but I can't seem to find it anywhere except by an international order
in Nicholas' site. I've been to amazon.com, buy.com, borders.com, and
so on. The publishing date is today, but it's not really out in any bookstore
near where I live in Virginia. Do you have idea where I can purchase this
book?

This book is self-published by Roman Diaz via Nicolas Terry, so the only place where you will find it is on his shop here: http://design.origami.free.fr/shop.htm

I've already ordered several times from this shop, and Nicolas is very reliable. You also get several different payment options so it shouldn't be a problem

does this book have any diagrams? and which ones are they?

Here, I'll save you a few clicks, but you've got to make that last on all by yourself.

I ordered it from them back in July and I recived my copy of the book today. It's great. I just folded the first model from it.
Rooster.

Cool use of the front & back paper colors!

Phil, I love your interpretation of this model.

Very nice model Phil....its exactly the same color as on the website! The horses look awesome! and so does the Lion's head. Do post pics once you fold those models

Thanks.
I folded four more models from the book and started a set for the book on my Flickr site, here. I'll add more pictures as I fold them.

I finished folding the Horse and Lion's Head. Here's the pictures.

Phil,

Extremely beautiful!!! Paper choice is so perfect, the background for the horse model, is quite nice...is it origami paper? Would you please be kind enough to give me the paper size used to fold the Lion's head? And how big is the final model?....now all you have to do is find a place to display these masterpieces!

I really like this book. I did one hippocampus already with printer paper but do not have a photo of it. I plan to wet fold it this week.

I like the tiger mask personally more than the lion mask. It is amazing to me how simple it really was to fold.

OK..I am confused by how to post an image on here. sorry. Someone help please

<Edit> Thanks Anna for the help in getting the picture to show.. Guess I need to start moving my pictures over to Flikr now </edit>

Thanks, The background I used for the horse is marbled lokta paper. I used an 18 inch square of lokta for the Loin's head the finished model is about 7.5 inches.

I finished folding all the models in this book today.
Here is a slide show of all the models, click the hippocampi
