A much-treasured book from my childhood, especially for Adolfo Cerceda's peacock. Probably the best summary of the state of origami during its Western heyday of the early '70s, when the author had his own TV show (yes, televised origami). There's a range of traditional and moderately advanced models, and the production values are excellent, with potted bios of "famous" names in the paper-folding world. (
