i got this for my 6 kids and they've used it so much, the pages are falling out.Book Review: Bulk Buyers Beware...
Summary: 4 Stars
During my heyday, I readily admit to having lived a life of immoderation. To that end, I followed the advice of another debauched Amazon reviewer and purchased somewhere in the neighborhood of twelve thousand copies of Easy Origami. Possibly, this reviewer intended this advice as a rhetoric device rather than actual purchasing instructions, or even more likely, this reviewer was acting as a shill for the silken paper industry. Someone once said that hyperbole lies without deceiving. While I don't quite understand what this statement is hinting at, I state without qualification that hyperbole bamboozled me out of $3.95 USD times the twelve thousand copies I purchased, money which regained its importance after I realized that I was operating in a fickle industry that all too often turns its back on innovative geniuses. Let me also proffer one more life lesson, never buy thousands of copies of any origami-centered book if you maintain only a passing interest in folding paper.
That being said, the book itself contains instructions on most if not all more creative figures in origami today. As someone that is predisposed to crafting genius, I found his diagrams on the swan and bear cub quickly could be transformed into shapes that resemble butterfly tears and crocodile cheers with few modifications in fold line locations. I just wish that the author and publisher would have included more paper with the book. My ability to pursue the art of origami was quickly disrupted by close associates who illicitly manipulated my papers which in turn halted this newfound passion.
Book Review: Good challenging start at Oragami ... Well worth it
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this for my 7 year old. The book has some easy start Origami (swan, fish, etc.) and then moves toward others that are more challenging (water bomb, frog, etc.). She really enjoys it. I can see more Origami in her future :) (NOTE: it does not include paper, so I purchased Origami Paper Traditional Prints 8 1/4" 49 Sheets).Book Review: Nice stocking stuffer
Summary: 4 Stars
This little bookk, at a great price, makes a nice intro to origami. It is very basic. I found that most of the paterns in this book are repeated in Montroll's "Teach Yourself Origami," so I passed this on on to a cousin who was intrigued when she saw what I'd been doing. It's fine as far as it goes, but it isn't intended to go vary far. You can't beat the price. I thought it was a misprint.Book Review: Easy Origami
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is very kool! If you want to do something to pass the time, buy this book. It is reasonably priced and after you do a few foldings, you can really use anything to fold with, not just the origami paper. It is fun and relaxing. I like the ease of the book. Because it is so simplified, you are able to remember the folds, and, there with you for a lifetime.
