Fab book with some full colour pictures and lots of easy to follow instructions. However, I wouldn't recommend this to the beginner because some folds and models are challenging. Nevertheless, this book provided me with loads of excellent ideas for making and designing my own models.

This was even beter than I expected. Perfect in every way, simple to follow instructions(b&w), tons of models. If you want to build stuff like spheres, etc, then this is the book for you.

Having folded all the usual animals and objects etc. for a large number of years, this book was a refresing change for me. Although most of the units are simple enough, assembling them proved to be a bit more challenging, and therefore, in my opinion, this book would not suit a complete beginner but someone who has at least mastered most of the basics first. My displayed modulars have been greatly admired by everyone and look far more complex than they actually are. If you buy this book, just remember to buy a large supply of paper as well, and be prepared to become addicted! Excellent!
