Contents Origami Digest Vol 218, Issue 14, Topic 1:Hi Lorenzo,This book matches most of the book numbered 3 in British Origami Society’s, David Lister’s compilation, The Books Of Akira Yoshizawa. I was able to acquire one from a Yoshizawa book lot. It does have 50 pages. The dimensions are 19cm by 17cm. The front and back card covers are in multi-color. A monochromatic presentation is used for each origami subject and there are at least 6 different colors. It is bound with a thick paper ribbon instead of string. The arrangement of the bound pages are colorfully symmetrical with the center middle of the book. There are 26 simple models. The title page does have a bold number 1! There is no ISBN number. This is all that can be verified from your picture, Lister’s book #3 description, and my copy. The publication date is now the mystery. Is it 1978 or is it 1958? Lister did have a few typos in his origami Lists, but he was also a lawyer. I would vote that his dates were spot on. I think that Lister was correct about this book’s 1978 publication date. I’m also thinking that the colors used for this publication could help determine the date. Another data point for detective investigation is the original price of 150 yen. So where does the 1958 come from? Inside the back cover of this book is a reference to 1958 . 7 . 16 and 6 pictures of origami (face, sailboat, peacock, ?, ostrich, and nun) that are not diagrammed in this book. The fourth origami pictured is so small; it could be a baby bird or puppy. I could speculate that the inside back cover is a tribute to Yoshizawa’s Cooper Union exhibition in New York in 1958. Could it be a twenty year anniversary highlight? Maybe this is why the picture that you have provided has a label referencing 1958. I really want to learn Japanese! We could have cleared up that inside back page in a jiffy. There IS something mysterious about this book. Please help us to focus our discoveries. Many Thanks,Dave

I'll be participating and hope I can share cards with you. That is why I'm sending this email to invite you to register as well.

Just make sure you talk about it with the swap host ASAP. Her email address is in the web page linked above. Precisely, friends from my country will be participating as well, and I'll be taking their cards. It would be amazing if people from more countries also take part in the swap!
