Overall Impression

An excellent book! This is a collection of realistic animal models.
The best results for these models can be achieved by wet-folding. The Author recommends specific types of paper for each model.
This is not a beginner's book, some experience is required.
The diagrams are clear, bi-colored, and for each model there is a recommendation for the type and color of paper to use, and the result model size for a given starting paper size.
Also included is a table of relative size in real life between the featured animals.
