5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good Origami Book! Recommended, Feb 24 2009
By C. F. Hill "CFH" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Beginner's Book of Modular Origami Polyhedra: The Platonic Solids (Paperback)
The "Beginner's Book of Modular Origami Polyhedra" is a very good starting place for those who want to move their Origami beyond the traditional swans, boats, etc.

The project instructions in this book are well laid out, fairly easy to follow, and the forms produced are very cool. The completed polyhedra shapes are sturdy and make great desk "toys".

Highly Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb introduction to modular origami, Oct 20 2008

This review is from: Beginner's Book of Modular Origami Polyhedra: The Platonic Solids (Paperback)
For the price one could hardly do better - this book offers many simple (to fold - not always that easy to assemble, especially the last piece!) and beautiful geometric modulars, and while it's not exhaustive, it's a great place to start. I heartily recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are ready for something more than 'mainstream' origami, May 1 2009
By D. Lovern "Me :)" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Beginner's Book of Modular Origami Polyhedra: The Platonic Solids (Paperback)
My son is addicted to origami. We gave him the origami calander and he was done well before the year was out. The airplane origami books also tired quickly. We have him this book about 2 months ago, and although my house is now filled with origami cubes and stars and whatnot... he is still interested in it! The down-side is that you make the same shape over and over again, but that does not seem to bother him. A few peices also do better if strengthened with tape or glue. What he loves best about this though, is using chocolate wrappers, or gum wrappers, or whatever is on hand to create a piece. Gather a dozen hersey's wrappers, and you have a lovely cube! It has been well worth the money spent!
