clear instructions & wonderful color pictures make it easy to make complex origami shapes.
Advanced origami? No, not really

I must agree with the other reviewers. The models in this book are not advanced, but it does have some wonderful practical origami. The diagrams are very clear and the photographs are great as well. The models in the second half of the book are nothing special though there are a couple of nice airplanes. If you are interested in practical origami, by all means buy this book; just keep in mind the models are at an intermediate level at best.
For practical users, 5 stars. For others, 3 stars.

I agree with Alan's review above, the title of this book is very misleading. When I first got this book I was quite disappointed that the designs here are not advanced. In fact, they are too easy to fold for advanced and experianced folders (for me they only ranked at too-easy to intermediate level). But just forget about it and then I find this book contains the richest practical origami models in a single book so far. These wonderful models are collected in the first half of the book. We can learn how to fold a purse, a clip holder, a booknote, a bookmarker, etc. In fact now my clipholder and bookmarker are folded as this book did by myself. In my opinion this part is this book's (true) merit. Models in the latter half are a bit trite and too easy. If you are interested on the practical usage of origami, this is a 5 star book. If not, this is only 3 stars. So take an average, 4 stars ^^
Beautiful Book!!
