Shaping steps would be enormously helpful as I find this to be the most challenging aspects of working from a crease pattern. It would not be unlike the Quyet's horse which includes, the M/V CP, steps to find refernces, and then begins the diagram for shaping with the base.
I say Go for it Shuki! Your book will be invaluable! And like Phillip, I think any one of us would be happy to proofread, test etc. I know I would, especially where dinosaurs are concerned
Thanks! And I'll let you test fold at least one of the dinos when I come to that.

I really feel that you should leave some of the super complex stuff as CP's, simply as something to strive for. I'm willing to bet that the feeling of figuring out a complex cp and figuring out how to fold it, and make it look good is way more rewarding that simply folding from diagrams. I'm still learning cp folding and look forward to folding more complex stuff from cp's. I'd rather fold something from cp and know that I'm part of an elite group of super awesome origami folders. Worldwide fame will surely follow.
After looking through your folds, I'd love to see a huge section dedicated to your folding techniques, including tricks that you've developed to create such immaculate folds.
Well, the plan is full diagrams for everything except the Zoanoid Dragon and Ohmu, I could possibly throw in some box pleated designs as well. When I fold from a cp it usually takes twice as long as from diagrams, you eliminate all extraneous creases and can fold much more accurately, but is it worth it?
I'm not giving away any of my folding secrets! No, what I mean is there's not much to it, just fold slowly and precisely in the beginning and the same in the end when you get to all the shaping.

Any updates?
My original schedule has been sidetracked, now I'm diagramming two different 'bugs' which if everything goes well will be available in a separate book first with a bunch of different authors (that's all I can say for now
) once that's done, I plan on returning to the Giganotosaurus and Kudu; the kudu being something I think would be more enjoyable to diagram. I did draw some of the precreasing steps for the Giganoto and can't figure out the best way to go on from that point.
