I have reviewed this book by Paul Jackson. The book shows step by step to create projects that show in the book. The book provides many information about equipments and techniques required to do paper sculpture. I have read others paper sculpture books and this book is my first choice. I have created projects using techniques provide in this book.

Since I loved Jackson's THE POP-UP BOOK and his origami designs in various books I own, I decided to try his book on paper sculpting. I was NOT disappointed. The book provides the reader with basic construction information/techniques, 20 creative projects, and a gallery of inspirational/challenging designs. The examples presented in the book run the gamma from the whimsical to the sublime. Therefore, this book would make an excellent resource for art teachers in elementary, middle, or high school.

It is a very good book for the beginning sculpturist, but I found it lacking in technically challenging designs & creations. The Design Gallery at the end is good.
