Surprisingly awesome. Whimsical tone, really interesting airplane designs. Scientific American had a contest in 1967 and this book includes all the winning entries. I need to go photocopy the fold-it-yourself tear outs. The crease lines look helpful. How do you precisely fold along a crease? Need to bone up on the basics.
This book would blow your mind if you were a 14 year old boy. (It still kind of blows my mind now)

The world's best paper airplane book. I wanted to be an areonautical engineer until high school because of this book.
Buy it, and give me the copy.
