Skill Level From simple to complex
Clear diagrams? Yes
Tinted diagrams (to show 2 sides of paper)? Yes
Photos of completed models? Yes
Is there indication to the model size resulting from size of starting paper? No
Are the models "Pure" origami (From a single square - no cuts)? Some are from rectangles or triangles

Overall Impression

Beware - there are 2 editions of this book available - only the one published in 1980 by Octopus contains all these models - the other one, published in 1984 by Gallery Books only goes up to the chimpanzee mask, thus eliminating some of the better models.

This is a slim book, containing plenty of nice models by various creators and on various subjects. There is something for everyone here. The diagrams are very clear, and there are beautiful color photos for all models.

There are 47 Origami Designs in Origami Paperfolding for Fun:
