Book Description

September 15, 2006
With step-by-step diagrams, detailed instructions and over 70 photographs in vibrant full-color, internationally-renowned origamist and author Tomoko Fuse offers an innovative approach to origami based on assembling separate, multi-dimensional shapes into one structure.
Some of the shapes, like pyramids or four-sided boxes, are simple to master, even for a beginner. Others are quite complex and require much more experience and proficiency. Fuse uses a system to indicate the level of difficulty for each project with one, two or three stars, so the reader knows from the start, how challenging a project is likely to be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Photos, January 23, 2007

This review is from: Unit Polyhedron Origami (Paperback)
This is a beautifully presented book with wonderful models and photos. But a lot of the units are repeats if you already own Fuse's all time best book Unit Origami - Multidimensional Transforms. About a third of the book is materials from her Unit Origami book. Additionally there are a few beautiful dodecahedra and several other units. Overall it is a must-have if you are a modular origami lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary, January 15, 2007
By 
Yorch (Mexico City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Unit Polyhedron Origami (Paperback)
Really, I believe this is one of Tomoko Fuse best books I've ever seen. Great pictures fully and well explained, English is not my native language but it results pretty easy to understand it.

The book's design is so cool, I just can't wait to do any of the projects inside... I encourage every one who like Origami to buy it.

Even, each project it's labeled with a difficulty level category starting at one star to three stars. But all the proyects are so well explained that if you have a little folding experience you will find easy to build them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for modular folders, September 30, 2007
This review is from: Unit Polyhedron Origami (Paperback)
If you're into making geometric solids then this book is a necessary compendium. You must own this!

I especially enjoyed the linked cubes-- the structures are quite solid and well put-together.
