Overall Impression

This is a reprint of the 1974 out-of-print publication.

Along with some classics and relatively simpler designs, this misleadingly small booklet contains some of the most complex models created in the 1970s. The work of Patricia Crawford, who has been ahead of her time, is prominently featured. The diagrams, however, are not always easy to understand, as they try to convey difficult maneuvers and steps in a very concise manner. Some of the models have later been re-diagrammed by J.C. Nolan for his book Creating Origami.
