5.0 out of 5 stars A really complete Origami book., November 29, 1997
Defining all basic terms and procedures that will be used throughout the book from the very beginning, it is recommended for beginners and for anyone who has already some background in Origami. It is very detailed, choosing a set of symbols (solid arrows, hollow arrows, dotted lines, dashed lines, looped arrows and so on) so that once you learn it, everything else gets easier. A group of procedures is also explained, so that later explanations just refer to these, without explaining everything again. It is really a fine edition, done by someone who really loves Origami, including some Origami traditions, anecdotes, facts and techniques that you will find in yellow windows all over (it is a very cultural book, showing, for example, the different meanings of creasing cards, origin of words and concepts), colorful, beautiful pictures and a lot of projects, of course. Some examples: airplanes, boats, booklet, jack-in-the-box, butterflies, Chinese funerary and celebratory offering, cup, fans, flexagons, flowers, frogs, banana, mouse, hats, antelope, spider, kites, knots, mobiles, multi-piece models, portrait ring and playground folds such as a talking fox for kids. I gave it to an adult Origami fan who does not speak English and she needed little help to begin folding.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is completely horrible., July 8, 2004
1- Project pictured on the cover is NOT included.

2- Only a handfully of the projects are true traditionally japanese paper origami.

3- most of the projects are things like:
Making paper hats
Folding a napkin into a mouse
Making a paper cup
Paper knots
Folding a diaper (no i am not making it up)
Making slippers out of newspaper
Paper Fans.

4- The illutrations are abhorrent, many do not include a picture of the finished product or skip steps.

There are far better books out there. If you are looking for a book that is basic, scattered and offers no real knowlegde of orgamini, this is the book for you.

But you if are looking for more projects, to master Japanese origami or for an indepth lesson this is not for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best detailed Origami book., May 8, 2002
By Shalizeh "shalizeh2" (California United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is very simple to understand and that is the reason why I recommend it. I am not good at Origami but with this book I was able to create several designs due to the clear explanations. I think you will enjoy it too!

The directions in this book can be hard to follow. I don't think there are 100 great projects in this book. Maybe 10? This book is pretty disappointing.
