Review: You'll need special paper to fold the model so that they turn out like the pictures - Definitely for the Origami enthusiast, and traditionalist. You'll need special paper to fold the model so that they turn out like the pictures, but the models are deserving of it. These models are not for beginners, and they'll take more than a few minutes to complete--which is great if you're an enthusiast (like having larger, more complicated jigsaw puzzles for puzzle enthusiasts). Review: Looks great. - I love the challenge.

For the Confident Advanced.
Full Color diagrams. Adequate instruction. Quite a bit of Finesse needed for mid step folds, if not throughout. Geometrically inclined can, however, achieve with a bit of unsure manipulation.

Good thing it comes with a video
Definitely not for your average Origami folder. The steps are challenging in the book. Good thing it comes with a video!

DVDが微妙
付属のDVDの折り方の説明がすごく雑でした。 折り方を見たいと思う場面が、画面の端で見えなかったりしました。 そして、折り方の説明には表裏色の違う折り紙を使って頂きたかった。 欧米人と日本人の文化の違いでしょうか。

Beaux modèles
Beaux modèles proposés, que je trouve un peu difficiles à réaliser. Mais qui sortent des modèles habituels.

Libro sorprendente
Excelente libro, muy buenos diagramas, difícil de seguir en ocasiones. Afortunadamente incluye un DVD que muestra cómo hacer los diagramas paso a paso.
