This book is not a book of origami models, although it does contain diagrams for the one model David Lister created and an excerpt of instructions for the lover’s knot from Robert Harbin’s Paper Magic. Rather, it is an homage to a man who played a vitally important role in researching the history of paper folding. The book contains an array of perspectives on and by David Lister: - Fond reminiscences by friends who knew him for 50 years, - A brief but fascinating autobiography, - His family?s perspective, - His own memories of earlier giants in paper folding, - A sampling of his correspondence with people from around the world, - His writings on a wide range of origami topics - Diagrams by Nick Robinson for his one creation, Four Thirsty Birds (named by Florence Temko)
