1.0 out of 5 stars
another recycled ripoff,
By
This review is from: A Handbook of Origami (Paperback)
I am sick and tired of publishers cheating customers by reissuing previously published works with a different title, cover, etc. to fool the customer. Origami publishers are the worst ever about this deception.
Paul Jackson's books are issued every couple of years under a new disguise. (He makes not one cent- the rights were sold to the original publisher.) This "new" Beech title is nothing more than such a re-do of "Origami: The Complete Guide......" I have spent a lot of money only to be disappointed. CAVEAT EMPTOR! The book is a fine book. My objection is to the fact that it is NOT a new issue, but a recycle.

Only if you are a beginner...with a lot of patience...,
By Origami Fan (Durmstrang) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Handbook of Origami (Paperback)
This is an ok book. However, 85% of the models can be found on the internet for free with better diagrams and pictures.
The "better" models are the modular origamis but the instructions are not very clear and the pictures have funny angles and lights...I figured them out because Ive been folding for a while but if I were just starting, I would've burned this book down. If you were a beginner, it COULD be a good book if it weren't because of the internet, but you can find most models online. I honestly wouldnt recommend it. Unless you have been folding for a while, you are going to get lost and miss steps. And if you have been folding for a while, you will see that only 2 or 3 models are worth your time (which is pretty bad for a whole book).

Another edition of Rick Beech's book,
By
This review is from: A Handbook of Origami (Paperback)
This is a nice book for beginner folders: it has a nice gallery of origami models and some general information followed by a selection of different types of models. The folds are shown in full-colour photographs rather than standard diagrams - much easier for a first timer to follow, although it's hard to see what's happened in a few pictures.
If you want to buy this, do some price-matching first. This book has also been published under such titles as "Origami Handbook," "Origami : The Complete Practical Guide to the Ancient Art of Paperfolding," and as a number of short books that feature single sections of the work eg. Action origami.
