From my Amazon review:

I was very surprised when this book was delivered. Reason why I was surprised it was hard cover and big. While there's minor tear of the dust jacket the rest of the book was in good condition. I'm glade I found this wonderful book as it was my first origami book I ever read and was kicking myself for not getting it when I was able too. This lovely book has easy to read instructions and diagrams to read, you also have Chistmas arrangements to give you idea to what to do with your creation when done folding them though some of them might be a bit difficult like the nativity scene. A good plus that I wish other books would give. Again there's a mix range or very easy to hard, their is cutting, more then one psper, gluing etc for those who care about these things.

Love this book! Very good diagrams and ideas for Christmas ornaments. I've used some of the examples to teach friends and any random strangers who are interested in folding origami.

While I don't need another origami book, I just might like to add this one.
It has some unique items
including a naivety set.

An excellent crafts book. The explanations are very clear and the illustrations very helpful. Just about any bird you'd like to make is in here.
