Overall Impression
This is a large collection of origami dinosaurs by the talented Fernando Gilgado.
The book starts with a few related era plants and a volcano, continues with cute baby dinosaurs, and then turns
to the big dinosaurs - and there are many of them.
This is not a beginners' book - most of the models are high intermediate to complex.
Each model comes with a bit of information about the animal.
The diagramming quality is excellent - and there are a few B&W photos of the finished models.
