I bought this book a few years back as a present to myself. Tamentai no Origami shows the folding patterns for dozens and dozens of geometric forms. Sure it has how to do a "cube", except that is really a Regular Hexahedron or a "pyramid" is a Regular Tetrahedron. But how about a Pentagonal Isositetrahedron? Or a Heptagonal Dipyramid? And they just get crazier from there. I love this book. It is completely in Japanese and I can't read a word of it, but I love this book. Truth be told, you don't really need to be able to read Japanese to enjoy and use this book. There is very little writing. The entire book is filled with very clear diagrams that need no translation. Tamentai no Origami has been invaluable in the development of my "folded space/dimension" drawings.
