The 2nd edition was published by Librería de la Vda de Ch. Bouret in Paris in 1896.

The 3rd edition is mentioned in the Bibliography in Papirolas - Volume 2 by Vicente Solorzano Sagredo

The same reference also appears in Gershon Legman's 'Bibliography of Paperfolding' as:

This page concentrates on those elements in the book which use paperfolding per se (rather than paper weaving, cutting or cartonnage) to create recognisable designs. The relevant pages on which instructions for the designs can be found are reproduced below.

Many of the lessons about paperfolding are concerned with mathematical folds which do not produce a finished design. In most cases you will need to consult the full work to find out about these.

A full copy of the 1st edition of the work can be found here.
