Book Reviews of Decorative Origami Boxes (Dover Origami Papercraft)
Book Review: Excellent illustrations and instruction
Summary: 5 Stars
Rick Beech has done an excellent job getting across to the reader what he wants us to do. Unlike many of the origami books (and I have many), he actually explains in clear language and precise illustrations what we have to do to get those wonderful little boxes out of a piece of paper.
I would recommend starting right from the first, most simple box and advancing through the harder ones at the back of the book. Even the very simple boxes are worth learning to fold. That way you get to understand how to read the directions and make the folds correctly on a simple project. More advanced boxes follow the basic ones, but none so challenging that this first time folder could not figure them out given enough patience and paper. I really enjoyed this book and have almost folded all of the boxes in it. I was a little perplexed by the use of the camel for the symbol representing the paper becoming 3D?? Did I miss something there?
But all in all it was a great book!!
