Overall Impression
This is a collection of models from all over the world. Mostly featured are
various modular designs, boxes and decorations, but also a nice selection of
other models. Everybody should find something for their liking in this book.
The book also includes a vast section about the history of origami with many
illustrations, but it's in Spanish, so I can't read it...
