Overall Impression

This is a fun joint effort of two of today's leading American origami creators. All kinds of animals are represented here, from simple to very complex models. The book opens with a detailed guide to the various symbols and procedures used. Some of the models require the use of paper colored the same on both size, and some use non-square paper, but there is something for every taste here.
