 for the enthusiast June 15, 2008
this is an extremely good book and one of the few that is actualy HARD. i bought this wen i was an intermediate and ive struggled but now i consider myself slightly advanced. if you new to origami dont be foolish and take this book or you will COMPLETELY fail. this book is for the ones who really want to test themselves. great book and fun to do with great models that appear in yuor hands
 Great figures; terrible production values. December 14, 2005
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
These figures are, clearly, for the advanced intermediate and very experienced origamist. They are clever, and many have very detailed (and many) steps.
However, the main reason I rated the book rather low is that the figures are very hard to see since they are printed in a very dark ink, and the instructions are, in many instances, almost impossible to see. It would have helped greatly if the diagrams were not printed so darkly -- indeed, the sample pages given when ordering are NOT what is seen. Also, it would have helped if there were some sugggestions as to size of paper with which to begin.
I suspect that very experienced folders will play with the models and will be successful, but I also think these great figures would have been much more accessible -- as they should be as they are really good -- had the authors or publishers used a bit more care in what the end book would look like vis-a-vis the diagrams.
