- Most of the work is done by a single folding motion, i.e. starting from a pre-creased paper, one motion gets you almost all the way to the cube
- All of the visible surface is from the active side of the paper
- the cube appears to be very structurally stable (considering it is made of paper)
in the US, you can watch it free with a library card on Kanopy[1] (if your library subscribes to Kanopy ofc)

Can some kind soul please upload (at least one) of these books to archive.org? That seems a much better place for Public Domain works than google drive.
I understand that the people releasing the books may not be tech-aware enough to realize that many people will not download them from google drive (this is not for technical reasons).

Why do people do this? Please use a sharing site or make a torrent if on a budget, find a friend who knows how.
Gdrive is the only one I've encountered that has prevented that, twice now.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have an option to pay to remove adds/paid books as the audio version does.

Anyone got it mirrored?
For kids, it depends on their age. Mine started around 5 and 6 with small origami kits I bought in amazon (printed in creases makes things easier). For older kids you can find many books with specific themes. Just find one that your kid is interested in (animals, boxes, Pokemon, Star Wars, etc). They all tend to be rather simple.
Also, avoid printing paper. It only works for very simple models. Tuttle publishing sells some nice packages with 100~200 sheets that are nice for simple to medium models.
You can also find tons of free diagrams on the internet. /r/origami in Reddit also has a nice community you can check out.
-Edit I forgot to mention Jo Nakashima. He has a youtube channel with great videos to follow.
If there is an origami society in your country, they may have some of these books in their library (rules for lending may vary, of course).
These books being so difficult to find was one of the reasons I wanted to ask Fujimoto's heirs to release the books to the Public Domain.
