Nicely presented . . . What sets this book apart from other modular origami books is the clear mathematical explanations . . . The final chapter, 'Going Further,' describes in detail how you can create your own models by adapting other designs (working through several what-if scenarios) . . . An interesting selection of both original models and classics from other designers, each accompanied with clear diagrams and written instructions . . . Worth adding to your collection, especially if you're passionate about polyhedra. -- -The Fold (OrigamiUSA)More details
