Overall Impression
This book is about folding, and creating, 3 dimensional, close-backed origami models.
Montroll discusses the technique of wet-folding, and demonstrates its use on the traditional crane.
Many of the models are derived from the same bases, which allows the folder to learn how to use bases for their
own creations.
With each model, Montroll reveals some creation tips.
