Overall Impression
This book is a great introduction to origami in general, and to money-origami in particular. The selection include fun models as the rings and bow-tie, a cute action-model, and a couple of a little more challenging animals. Furthermore, the book comes with a crisp new (real) dollar bill, so you can start practicing immediately. Strewn within the instructions are "Buck Facts", short trivia facts about money.
The instructions, while not exactly conforming to the Randlett-Yoshizawa standards of diagramming, are still quite clear and detailed in both drawings and descriptions.
