Editorial Reviews

Product Description

“No paper-folding book in recent years has managed to combine the exactness of origami with simple, easy-to-follow instructions. The minimal text features excellent step-by-step color photographs that describe how to fold the 8 basic forms plus 40 figures....Handsome...clear... precise and comprehensible.”—Booklist starred review.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of everything all in one book!, July 3, 2000
By Lydia Guidry (Off the shelf) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I look for several things when I buy an origami book: I want actual pictures of someone folding the paper, not diagrams. This book has that! Also, I look for a variety of shapes to fold. This book has flowers, snails (!), and dragons. I also look for simplicity, since I am an intermediate origamist. I had no trouble making every one of these projects work. I was delighted with the pictures, the variety, and the simplicity. It starts off with easy projects and moves on the harder ones. I highly recommend this to beginners as well as intermediates.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely well illustrated and explained with color photos, January 3, 2007
By Cheridy Jollie (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Easy to follow, contains models that range from very simple to rather impressive, yet all are so well explained that even a novice can create the most beautiful models without frustration.

Especially great for those who have had trouble following standard origami diagrams. Each step is well explained in text and illustrated with color photos showing hands accomplishing the folds -- perfect book to use to teach origami.

Particularly interesting to experienced folders are the very well done dragon, snail, horse and rider, and graceful lady - worth the price of the book themselves.

BOOK CONSTRUCTION:
Entire book is full color, heavyweight, glossy paper. Well-organized table of contents breaks down models by base. Includes an index at the back. Cover has pre-scored open fold at front and rear to prolong book life.

Well done. I am rarely so pleased with every aspect of a book.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Great Origami Book, August 15, 2008
Hi!

This book is a good starter if you want to do something with paper not necessary pure origami and if you like ornament and some usefull stuff.

BUT...

If you intent to purchase this book you may want to consider some points:

- This book shows kirigami (cutting paper techiniques) in some models.
- This book is for beginners!
- The title bring us to think about a more complete book regarding origami, however the models are simple and some of the models are part of an ornament or using glue to be attached to another origami piece.
