Format:Paperback
I have been learning traditional origami techniques and thought that this book would be a new challenge. The cover promises fantastic looking shapes but inside the diagrams are hard to follow and the steps are not explained well at all! Often with no explanation and no indication of how to get from one step to the next. I would not reccommend this book unless you have previous experience of folding similar geometric shapes. It is very frustrating!!

It's cheap. You can do better for a few more bucks.
5 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
It's about the size of a grade-school workbook. The pictures are confusing and need a bit of interpretation to clarify what the author is getting at.
As an experienced paper folder, I found the designs and the instructions lacking.
As to the beginners perspective, for entertainment on a long train ride with my younger brother, I brought this book and another geometric origami book "Unit Origami" by Tomoko Fuse.
My brother was a complete novice. He first attempted a few projects from "3-D Geometric Origami : Modular Polyhedra." He seemed a bit discouraged through the whole process, however, we were pretty bored so he attempted to complete few anyway. The finished products didn't hold up very well and they didn't look very pretty either.
He was about to give up on origami altogether. I handed him the Unit Origami book, and he took off. He was an origami folding fanatic for the whole week we were staying with our relatives.

A fantastic book for enthusiasts!
9 Sep 1999
Format:Paperback
I really enjoy this book. It combines the beauty of origami with the principles of geometry. It gives instructions for simple modular origami, telling you how to make the finished shapes as large and complex or small and simple as you like. It gives room for countless variations on the techniques taught here. My friends are amazed when I show them my latest creations and tell them that in one shape there are 72 pieces of paper!

A good guide for those with some previous experience
12 Jan 1999
Format:Paperback
A good "how-to" book. Diagrams for folding individual modules are clear. Instruction for piecing the modules together to form the models should be more detailed as this can be a frustrating process. Overall, I would recommend the book, but think it's best for those with some experience in piecing these types of models together.
