  ***** COET '91 - Convention on Origami in Education & Therapy *****

Where do you start with what may be the most important origami book in
the last 10 years? Perhaps by saying what it is not;

It isn't a collection of diagrams, although there are many unpublished
designs within It isn't a set of dry theoretical papers, although there
is plenty of theory and new insights It isn't an evenings reading - the
461 pages are enough to keep you going for months.

1991 saw the first international Convention on Origami in Education &
Therapy, better known as COET. Speakers from around the globe gave talks
on how they employ origami as a powerful educational tool as well as in
therapy and rehabilitation. The entire meeting was painstakingly
transcribed and has been published by the BOS so that others can share
in this knowledge.

Speakers included Saburo Kase, Micheal Shall, Thoki Yenn, Paul Jackson,
Marieke de Hoop, John Smith, the Froebel Institute and many others. The
limited edition epic is now available to origami enthusiasts everywhere
and is a rich source of fascinating and practical information.

So what do you get for your money?  The following are *brief*
highlights!

classic "Index of folding"
