Eigendlich ein ganz brauchbares Buch, 11. September 2001

Das Buch ist eigendlich ein ganz gutes Origami Buch. Es weist allerdings einige Schwächen auf. Die Instruktionen sind recht knapp gehalten und die Bilder sind einfarbig, was stellenweise für Verwirrung sorgt. Die Moddele sind nicht immer aus einem Quadrat gefaltet. Die Pluspunkte des Buches sind seine Modellvielfalt (38) Stück und zum Teil sind es auch sehr schöne Modelle. Obwohl ich es nur mit 3 Sternen Bewertet habe, ist es doch eines der Besten Origamibücher überhaupt!

      Starts off good - leaves beginners behind, 1. Januar 2000

It starts off pretty good, then abandon's the beginner to the frustartion of vague instructions. I had to try some of the models several times nefore the directions made sense.

       great book!!!!!!!!!!!, 20. September 1999

I Just Love This Book!!!!!

      pretty good but has some faults, 16. September 1999

The book starts off so well with great written instructions and clear diagrams. However, the author too quickly abandons the beginner by shortening the written directions and cutting out parts of the diagrams which we've supposedly already learned. Also, he states in the beginning that the shaded sides of the diagram will indicate which side of the paper you're looking at (most paper is white on one side and colored on the other) but only in the first diagram and in a few other advanced ones does he do this. Plus, I believe that he starts a few off wrongly by telling the wrong side of the paper to start with.

On the good side, the structures quickly build off of the folds of the previous one so you can master various folds and apply them to the next. The beginner form, the mouse, is really cute. Not a bad book on origami but I believe I'll need to add another book to my collection in order to get further along.

       this is a great book, 29. April 1999

this book explains in great detail, how to make many models. Great for beginners, or intermediate, or even advanced.
