A comprehensive collection of origami models in 260 pages plus index and bibliography. Pretty much anything you might want to make is in here, and there are guidelines for creating anything that Mr Honda omitted. Some of the patterns require specially shaped paper, such as equilateral triangles or hexagons. Some require scissors. There's a lot of explanatory material about historical background and traditions, interestingly presented. The models themselves are arranged in order of increasing difficulty, which is convenient. All in all an outstanding book for instruction, reference, and entertainment. ( )
