This review is from: Great Paper Jets (Hardcover)

Great Paper Jets was an odd extra book from the library. As we checked it out, I was thinking - another dumb book eh; they all are. But

I went through the motions because everone in my family was excited. I copied the pages onto heavy stock and we went for it.

The Basics: The Planes look great.

The planes fly well.

The planes are fun to make.

This is the only book on paper planes which of all the ones I have encountered, which is many - actually delivers.

So why buy it rather than just get it from your library and copy it.

Well try it from your library like we did. I guarantee you will want to buy it. Should this plane book go out of print. It will be gone and the trash out there with the glitz but zero content will be all that's left.

We rate it the highest since it is the only paper airplane book that meets or exceeds our expectations.
