Overall Impression

This special booklet published by the French Origami Association collects most diagrams ever produced by the late wonderful origami artist Eric Joisel, and is in this way a nice companion to the beautiful showcase: Eric Joisel - The Magician of Origami which contains many photos but very few diagrams. 

This little booklet contains a lot more than diagrams, though. There are several articles with many B&W photos, testimonials from Eric's friends, and an extra set of instructions, not by Joisel, but rather of his image, by Nguyen Hung Cuong.

An excellent tribute and a must for Joisel fans.
