Het Grote Vouwboek (Revised Edition) by Aart van Breda, 1963
 
'Het Grote Vouwboek' by Aart van Breda was published by Uitgeverij van Breda in 1963. It is a heavily revised edition of the original 1955 book by the same author.

I have not seen a copy of this book in the original Dutch. However, according to Joan Sallas, who also owns a copy of the original 1955 book, only 23 of the original designs survive in the new edition.

The book does not give the origin of any of the designs. A good number of the designs seem to be new and are thus possibly the inventions of the author.

Two translations, which I believe contain the same designs, were published in 1965, one in English as 'Paper Folding and Modelling', by Faber and Faber in London, and one in German as 'Kempers Grosses Papierfaltbuch. Falten und gestalten' by Kemper Verlag in Heidelberg.

An analysis of the contents of the English translation can be found here.
