Innovative, stimulating and challenging book combines the art of paperfolding with making polyhedra-based models. Projects range from the relatively simple cube and tetrahedron to such mind-boggling fabrications as the double pentagonal pyramid and the truncated hexadecahedron. Instructions and diagrams included.

2.0 out of 5 stars
It's cheap. You can do better for a few more bucks.,
By jacklynjoy (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 3-D Geometric Origami: Modular Polyhedra (Paperback)
It's about the size of a grade-school workbook. The pictures are confusing and need a bit of interpretation to clarify what the author is getting at. As an experienced paper folder, I found the designs and the instructions lacking. As to the beginners perspective, for entertainment on a long train ride with my younger brother, I brought this book and another geometric origami book "Unit Origami" by Tomoko Fuse. My brother was a complete novice. He first attempted a few projects from "3-D Geometric Origami : Modular Polyhedra." He seemed a bit discouraged through the whole process, however, we were pretty bored so he attempted to complete few anyway. The finished products didn't hold up very well and they didn't look very pretty either. He was about to give up on origami altogether. I handed him the Unit Origami book, and he took off. He was an origami folding fanatic for the whole week we were staying with our relatives.

A fantastic book for enthusiasts!,
By A Customer
This review is from: 3-D Geometric Origami: Modular Polyhedra (Paperback)
I really enjoy this book. It combines the beauty of origami with the principles of geometry. It gives instructions for simple modular origami, telling you how to make the finished shapes as large and complex or small and simple as you like. It gives room for countless variations on the techniques taught here. My friends are amazed when I show them my latest creations and tell them that in one shape there are 72 pieces of paper!

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good guide for those with some previous experience,
By A Customer
This review is from: 3-D Geometric Origami: Modular Polyhedra (Paperback)
A good "how-to" book. Diagrams for folding individual modules are clear. Instruction for piecing the modules together to form the models should be more detailed as this can be a frustrating process. Overall, I would recommend the book, but think it's best for those with some experience in piecing these types of models together.
