Overall Impression

From a set of two books by the talented Peter Budai, featuring newer and older works.
Both books include models of all folding skills, action models and geometric shapes.
The diagrams are in Peter's excellent computer drawn style, bi-colored and very
clear. The instructions are in both Hungarian and English.
