Overall Impression

This is not a diagram book, but a beautiful large-sized showcase of some
of the most impressive origami creations by designers and folders from all over the world.
There are also several articles by some of the leading names in origami today.
The photographs are of superb quality, with each model taking at least one
page, and each is accompanied by brief information, including creator name and nationality, and final model size (most are photographed in actual size).
Paper type used would have been a nice addition, but is not mentioned.

This is great book to be inspired from, and to show non-folders what can be achieved from a piece of paper.
