| 'Origami:
The Oriental Art of Paper Folding by Harry C Helfman' by
Harry C Helfman was published by Platt and Munk Co Inc in
New York in 1960. As the following advert, which was published in the New York Times on 3rd December 1960, evidences, it was originally published in two forms, as a kit containing a paperback book and folding paper, and as a hardback book which contained a few extra designs. I have not seen a copy of the hardback version. The paperback version is currently in print with Dover Publications titled 'Fun with Origami'.
A full copy of the paperback version of the work can be accessed online here. ********** This photo is said to show Yoko Ono at Abraham & Strauss bookshop NYC in 1961. Copies of the kit version can be seen behind her and stacked at the bottom right.
