the title says it all,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Origami (Paperback)
Not only a carefully sorted collection of origami models, this is a book explicitly written for the aspiring paperfolder. Nice features include:- very clear diagrams and instructions using standard notation - can be used either as a self-study guide or as a teacher's aid - nearly 27 simple models, 12 intermediate, 5 complex (the latter include 2 models by classic creater Fred Rohm, the "impossible" vase and waterwheel) - each model introduces more advanced techniques and new folding maneuvers explained in detail, so just by following the book the reader learns not only _how_ each fold is done but also _why_ it is employed Excepting a few models like the Elephant, this is not a book for fans of Montroll's "complex" work (like "Origami for the Enthusiast", "Origami Sea Life" and "Origami Sculptures"); on the other hand, it is longer and more didactic than "Easy Origami" and also has more original models. Beware: there's a classic book by R. Harbin reprinted with the same title.

If you want to learn... you must have this book,
This review is from: Teach Yourself Origami (Paperback)
Sometimes, I didn't understand the diagrams in other books.
So, It was frustrating, and I said "this is not for me". I start with this book "Teach Yourself Origami". And... Every project is a success. It's an excellent book. Very nice diagrams. Because Montroll teachs step by step. If you have this book you will learn origami. You will learn something funny, and you will relax. Start to fold!

This review is from: Teach Yourself Origami (Paperback)
I learned a lot from this book. Montroll follows a very logical sequence, with a very gradual increase in difficulty. Along the way, he not only explains how the folds are done, but why. My progress using this book was faster than I would have believed possible (I have succeeded in folding the elephant, and am about to attempt the bee with reasonable confidence.)
Highly recommended
