From Kenneth Kawamura's library

In email corespondence about an Origami box, I, Marty Carbone, happened to write to Kenneth Kawamura,
" I will bet you a nickel Florence Temko never published anything that needed a cut." ... (I wound up sending
Kenneth the nickel and a Mini Boxmaker free of charge).

I thought you viewers would be interested in Kenneth's response.

Ken wrote back with the following; "I think you lose on that, taking the 'anything' literally. But I think I found
your 'Florence', and you're right, it isn't Florence Temko. I think it's Florence Sakade.You got me curious
enough to try to dig out part of my library. I'm sure I have more Florence Temko books than I looked at (in
particular her two Money Folding books, which are in hiding with the rest of my Money Folding books),
but oh, well. And looking her books up on the Internet, there's a whole lot more I never had. :-)

However, I pulled what I could find of Florence Temko's books, looked around, and grabbed books
by Florence Sakade and Toshie Takahama too, and this is what I found:
