4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, but somewhat difficult, October 19, 2008

This review is from: Origami (Paperback)

Some of the drawings are hard to decipher, so is not easy to make some of the models. Some steps are so difficult need more drawings to elucidate the evolution of the fold. A good intro.

This review is from: Origami (Teach Yourself (McGraw-Hill)) (Paperback)

This book is the same as "Teach Yourself Origami" and "Origami, the Art of Paper-Folding", just with another cover to make you think it is new, also in the webside they describe it as a book of David Brill, it does not contain nothing of him, not even his name mention!?!?
If you have no origami book, it could be good for you, other wise beware!!!
