This appears to be a redacted copy of Florence Sakade's books Origami, Japanese Paper Folding Books One and Two," first published in the 1950s and still a great beginning book. It would appear that new ideas--like the clowns on the back cover--have been added, but it still essentially the same easy to follow guide to simple origami. Most of the designs are for flat models, but there are a number of 3 dimensionals as well, the crane being, of course, the most ancient and traditional of all of them.
Find joy and luck in "The Guide to Hawaiian-Style Origami Charms." Each origami model in this unique book has a pocket or compartment in which to place a coin. Use these charms to create a special coin lei or present them individually for fun and luck. Include them in greeting cards, with monetary gifts and in goody bags.

Here, he is described in his own words and the words of his contemporaries: from his clannishness to his knack for being at the right place at the right time, and from his genius to his obsession with detail.
Perhaps the most highly regarded French filmmaker after Jean Renoir, Robert Bresson created a new kind of cinema through meticulous refinement of the form's grammatical and expressive possibilities.
