SUMMARY- I've marked the six models that have an actual model glued into the page with an "*". My copy of this book is in pretty good shape for a book that's more than 55 years old and has delicate papers glued in that kids would love to play with. There is no way they had a machine in 1967 that could make origami models, so those models were hand-folded and then hand pasted into each book - however many hundreds to thousands that was. That is an amazing feat. The publisher must have been completely jazzed over this project to include something that costly. I love the Thunder Bay kits for the same reason - and this book is that times six! Mr. Honda used compound origami(more than one sheet of paper) and often employed scissors to get a feature he wanted.
