Vacation

I'll be on vacation with little or no internet access until April the 18'th.

The first chapter of the book is nearly complete, and I will publish it once I'm back.

Crease Patterns eBook

Over the coming weeks (and months), I will be writing an ebook about how to fold crease patterns, which will be freely available once it is complete. I will post the work in progress chapters in this page as I write them, which will give everyone a chance to review and comment on them before the final "official" publication. Be sure to bookmark or sign up for the rss feed to receiver updates when new chapters are available.
