I recently had a nice email from a German folder called Christian Saile. He said he as a big fan and hoped we could meet at the next Origami Deutschland convention. I did some googling and found his website – discovering not only is he young (12) but he’s also written an origami book!

Impressive modesty that he didn’t mention this in the email, the book looks a lot of fun and he features prominently on the cover.  This got me to thinking how my sales might be affected with a photo of me on the cover, but after 15 seconds of reflection, I realised it would not a be good idea.

I get the impression Christian has a great future ahead of him, whatever he chooses to do with it…
