Excellent, not for beginners
The Good:
- Positively beautiful models
- All models can still be folded in less than 10 minutes if you are fairly good with origami (no 10 hour projects here)
- Fairly clear hand drawn diagrams
- Some quick suggestions from the author for help on folding
- This is "real" origami - no gluing, no scissors, no multiple sheets for a single model (except for the geometric design section, where this is expected).
- most models can be done with almost any kind of paper
The Bad:
- Numerous typos, they don't make the book unreadable, but do give it a very unrefined feeling. (Author states at one point that he had found a better way to make a certain model, but had already finished drawing the diagrams for the book - things like this add to the feeling of "incompleteness")
- Some diagrams are so small they are hard to read - Brill gives large diagrams for the easy steps, and then squishes 2 dozen detail fold lines into a single tiny diagram later on
- One or two diagram mistakes found, should not be a problem for the target audience of this book
- Some non traditional starting shapes, such as triangles and rectangles, though usually with basic proportions (no 2.7172 x 1 rectangles needed here). I don't consider this to be a violation of the origami "rules" at all, especially when the finished result warrants the different starting shape, but some people might have a problem with this
- recommended starting paper sizes and type are sometimes given, but no indication is ever given of the size of the pictured models, nor the start-finish size ratio
Other:
- Not for beginners, some fairly difficult pieces, you should be able to do complicated petal folds and sinks in your sleep with no instructions, though a few easier models are included too
- Many of the models focus on a 3D effect - even someone experienced in origami may have trouble with this at first if not used to giving models depth. "Wet folding", a technique to overcome the difficulties in making a 3D model, is described briefly, but is difficult to master.
Overall:
- 5 stars; despite some of the significant flaws in the book, the models here are too beautiful to deserve any other rating.
