I wanted to give you an update of the process with the book. I've uploaded it to CreateSpace; now we have to wait for it to be revised and for me to buy and assess the first copy. It's probable that I'll simply sell the book directly from CreateSpace just to offer you the best price. I'll take tha

In my last message I mentioned I wanted to explore another option, different from Bubok, for the purchase, printing, and shipping of Practigami. It would be really useful if I could exchange messages with someone that has added a book to CreateSpace. If that's your case, would you please contact m

HI, Rob, suggested I offered Practigami as an eBook, besides as a printed book, and mentioned OrigamiUSA as an option. And JC Nolan briefly explained how I could do that. Thank you both for the suggestion and the information. For now we'll just offer it as a printed book just cause that's what we
