Overall Impression

John Montroll and Brian K. Webb travelled around the world to find interesting designs from contemporary artists, and collected them for this lovely compilation, which puts me in mind of a well-produced convention-book of sorts.

From Nicolas Terry's simple penguin to Kade Chan's complex dragon, there's something here for everyone. Some of the models are available elsewhere, but usually not in an easily obtainable format.

This is a high-quality collection, and I hope to see more volumes in the future!

There are 33 Origami Designs in Origami Worldwide:
