A really complete Origami book.
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.
