SUMMARY- I have the 2003 edition. I hunted down the covers of previous editions I could use, and as with everything in life, you get what you pay for. But at least you'll have an idea of what they look like if you need to hunt them down. This book was a lot of people's introduction to origami - Mr. Harbin helped popularize origami through television appearances and his books. There are excellent reasons why this one has been reprinted so many times. I know that models got added to this edition that weren't in the first edition, but I don't know which ones.
