Sophisticated origami or paper crafts fans will appreciate the ten unique origami designs included in the book--with complete how-to instructions and photographs.

The book also features information on paper selection and preparation, advance techniques such as "wet folding," and making your own paper.

A great origami guide for serious folders with excellent tips on producing paper, 2007-12-17
I ordered this book expecting a collection of fairly advanced diagrams. I was particularly interested in the Cattleya orchid model and the frog, two of my favorite subjects to fold. I was very pleasantly surprised with the book for a number of reasons. The quality of the printing and binding is superb. The diagrams are easy to follow and very thorough. The information on how to produce your own paper to achieve the most aesthetically pleasing results for any model is very nice.
I do have a few very minor issues with the book. The first is that the models designed to be folded with duo colored paper do not have two-tone diagrams. Even though you may be folding with duo paper, it makes folding easier to have a diagram with a two-color scheme. The second issue is more of a personal one. To really achieve the best results from any of these models they need to be wet folded from handmade paper. Standard origami paper or paper foil simply will not produce the results you are looking for. That being said, I am very happy I purchased this book and would recommend it to any origami enthusiast.

Advanced indeed, 2007-10-22
This is a nice book. Beautifully printed and interesting projects. However, it's truly for advanced folders. I have not been folding that long but have succeeded folding models rated difficult. In this book some step could do with more explanation, and even when you fold to instruction, the models don't always come out like the photograph, simply because the folds in the instructions don't end up looking like that. It takes some additional creativity to make it look better, which in itself is not a bad thing.
