- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Books gives information of folding various forms of each Platonic solid. The directions are very limited but the diagrams are helpful, so a novice at origami can fold them with some trial and error. As this is modular origami, it would have been nice if the authors had mentioned that some units had to be folded using slightly smaller or larger squares than other units -- if not, the pieces do not fit together nicely.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5not only impressed with the module variations the authors give you licence to create as many facet units from heat they've shown,...this is for the young origamist who wants to become intermediate to advanced...
