Summary: i'm retarded and i could do this...so can you
Review: I just got this out from the library and it's great! I'm just about to purchase it. The pictures are super helpful, the instructions are pretty easy, you may have to re-read them but you'll have to w/ any origami book. I don't know if they tell you this or not but it comes w/ 10 sheets of paper (at least i think it does). They teach you a lot of basics, and they have easy and hard projects, so it pretty much makes everyone happy. enjoy!

Summary: Great for begginer's, easy enough for anyone
Review: I've used a number of books trying to get started in origami and found most of them lacking or disappointing in some way. This one is the exception. The projects are basic, yet fun. They are great for kids or anyone who has struggled with origami in the past like myself. You won't be pulling out your hair trying to figure out what you are supposed to do next. I was thrilled to discover folding guides for most of the projects. This is something I have not seen in any other book. You can photocopy them and practice before wasting good paper. If only every origami book would include this! Conveniently, some colored origami paper to get you started in also included. I really like the spiral bound binding as well allowing the book to lay flat as you practice. The book starts out by helping you select paper and learn the basic folds such as the mountain, squash and rabbit's ear with clear step-by-step photo instructions to get you off to a good start. Then many bases are covered including the kite, diamond, fish, waterbomb, preliminary, frog, bird, and windmill. The projects follow with some of my favorites being the star box, iris, butterfly and flapping bird. There is a beautiful gallery in the back showing examples of more advanced origami projects. This is the perfect book for anyone wanting to get started in origami.

Summary: Best Teaching Guide I have Seen
Review: This book gives the best, eastiest to understand instructions as compared to any other origami book I have seen. Most books have only black and white diagrams with and hard to follow written instructions that include vocabulary many beginners are not yet familiar with. Not so with this book!! It has color photos of the folding instructions with great written direction. I got this book at the library about 2 hours ago and already had to buy a copy of my own. I am sure it will be a great reference tool even as I build my skill level.
