Book Reviews of The Complete Book of Origami: Step-by Step Instructions in Over 1000 Diagrams
Book Review: Paged through the book, won't bother folding anything
Summary: 1 Stars
For full disclosure, I like my origami with square paper and symmetrical folding...this is not that kind of book. Most of the models in this book started with odd-shaped paper like a triangle or a rectangle with weird dimensions like 1:1.414 or really long skinny sheets. I don't even know if the size of paper required for some of the advanced models is readily available even if you were to cut it to size. Other models require folding the paper into 1/5's or 1/12's in the first step...I don't like to use a ruler and calculator to get those folds right. I know all this may seem a little picky, but that's just me. Even the ones starting with perfect squares looked too simple and I wouldn't bother folding.
The author, Lang, co-wrote a book with John Montroll (who adheres to my strict requirements), so I thought this book might be worth a shot. That was a mistake so now I keep this book as a reminder not to buy anything not written by Montroll...My origami hero.
But if you can get past that, take your chances
