While origami enthusiasts may tell you, "I own every origami book", the
truth is that there are many hundreds of origami books, on all different
levels and in many different languages. More recent books focus not only
on diagrams for models, but origami as an art form, as depicted through
beautiful photographs, or origami as a creative process, through a study
of the model design process. Some books may be difficult or even
impossible to find, while others may be only a click away at your local
Internet bookstore. Regardless, you can be sure that there plenty of
origami books which will suit your needs and your skill level.
One interesting approach to looking for the right book is to search
a model database which contains entries for thousands of models, in
hundreds of books. Below is a link to just such a search:

Here is the front cover of Origami

Robert Lang (this page shows most of the models from the
book). Every model in this book is a challenge, so I would
recommend it only for advanced paperfolders. |
