One the plus side, the book is beautifully and simply designed. The emphasis is on clarity and instruction. However, as someone who wanted to broaden their understanding of the medium I have to say that about 75% of the coverage is so simple as to warrant it pointless to me - many of the plans are so similar that they needn't be in.
I've noticed that their are several books in this series which makes me feel like this is a way of making money. If there was a full compendium of these ideas in one bigger book it would make much more sense.
Nevertheless, Paul Jackson is a real leader in paper techniques so if you're really starting off from scratch then you will get some help from this book.

Paul Jackson spans the divide between origami and creating 3D cards, books etc. This is a must for anyone looking at making pop-up books. This gives the essential basics & inspiration.

Very clever pop-ups with excellent diagrams and photos. I have already printed greeting cards on several sheets before cutting and folding them as pop-ups.

Fabulous & highly creative book that clearly outlines some stunning designs. It contains full nets for all designs so adapting the ideas to your own specification is made much easier - or using it with college students is made more straight foreword.
