Product Description

Product Description

Robert Harbin's pioneering book provides a comprehensive introduction to this simple and inexpensive, yet creative and absorbing art form. It includes a complete history of origami (or the art of paperfolding), from its origins in the twelfth century. It provides information on the essentials of origami, followed by over 400 diagrams with clear and easy-to-follow instructions that show how to create a range of models.

The book's aim is to provide a new dimension in enjoyment, infinite and unrivalled in its capacity to make you relax and forget everything else.

This new edition has been revised by David Brill, of the British Origami Society, and includes new diagrams for the reader to follow to make new models.


About the Author

In 1955, Edward Robert Charles Williams was the first person in the world to present paperfolding on television, on the BBC children's programme "Jigsaw". The next year his first book, "Paper Magic", illustrated by Rolf Harris was published. In October 1967, the British Origami Society was founded independently by a small group of enthusiasts who appointed Bob to be their honorary president. Bob created a worldwide reputation, both for the quality of his magid performances and also for his own new illusions. He died at St. Mary's Hospital in London on 23rd February 1978, deeply mourned by paper folders, magicians and by the general public alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Origami book- very nicely presented., 26 May 2009
By Mr. S. Barnes - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book was exactly as it was when I originally bought one when I was 13, and was an avid follower of Origami- the art of paperfolding, which was a television program hosted by Robert Harbin! Used, but well looked after. I will probably use it for many hours to come!

1.0 out of 5 stars There are much better books on origami out there, 27 Jan 2007
By Mister X (Braunschweig) - See all my reviews
This book was a huge disappointment to me. There is almost no text in this book. The book basically just consists of colorless drawings leading to about 50 basic models.

This book is certainly targeting beginners, but there are books with more detailed explainations, beautiful photos and way more models.

Don't buy this book. Pick up another one. I am pretty sure it won't be worse than this one.
