The Encyclopedia of Origami Techniques: The complete, fully illustrated guide to the folded paper arts

Great for beginners and advanced as well. The instructions are detailed and clear. It was a gift for my husband who is enjoying it very much. Arrived well packed and fast.

Just got into origami myself lately and had mostly used online videos to fold models so far, which can be confusing at times. This is a neat book if you wish to learn the terminology and folding techniques of origami from scratch - I love that the book takes you from beginner, intermediate all the way to advanced models in a joyful, but coherent way. No fuss as the book provides a clear layout and simple explanations to achieve the folds. Highly recommended!

On the whole I’m enjoying the book, the Instructions are very clear & easy to follow . However I have spotted a few minor errors with the occasional illustration - Nothing major as long as you take the time to fully read the instructions. A worthwhile purchase for anyone just starting out with origami.

The origami thing started as a lockdown joke with a friend ... I ordered paper for us to do drunken zoom origami. I tried some designs from the net and found I enjoyed it. I bought this book and it explained the art in more depth, the meditative side of the process and went deeper into it . Also teaching the symbols for doing the patterns that are international ...you could even follow a design developed by somebody speaking any language as the pattern symbols are same for all. The book is just lovely, descriptions and illustrations on each page intrigue and encourage. It’s taught me that the slow process (journey?) to the end result is what it’s all about....concentration, focus and patience ...once you finish the design you feel quite zen. Lovely, to the author I say thank you .

Brilliant book for my son to begin origami. It has clear step by step instructions and has proved easy enough for him to follow ( Age 12). Bought along with packs of colourful paper , it has been keeping him extra busy during lockdown!

Bought this as a gift and for a beginner. Beautifully presented and easy to follow.

Designs a little dated and nothing really inspiring. Don't get me wrong a great book for learning but I did not immediately find something I had to make. The usual how to section describing the different folds. Beginners to intermediate folds with a section at the back showing real professional makes. The soft cover is annoying as it kept closing when I was folding so I kept losing the page and where I was. Overall a good book that needs some modern makes.

My gf was very happy with this purchase

Not very useful for kids. Not detailed instructions.

Apenas estoy aprendiendo origami, así que esperaba que el libro pudiera ser un trampolín para una mejor comprensión de la técnica. Me gustó la información preliminar. Incluye una explicación de los dobleces básicos, aquí tuve algunos problemas que resolví viendo videos en YouTube, por lo que para mí fue una falla. Luego se incluyen tres secciones con diferentes modelos, modelos sencillos, intermedios y más complejos. Encontré algunos errores entre los diagramas y texto, no muchos, pero sí existen. Hay de todo, animales, origami modular, cajas, etc. en ese sentido es muy bueno. Si buscas un sólo libro para aprender y hacer diferentes modelos, es un buen libro.

One of the good book in Origami Instructions.

I am a first timer in origami and this book is so helpful. The directions are clear and easy to follow. So glad I purchased this.

The ideal book, for beginners and not-so beginners. Clear instructions on technique, good pictures and diagrams, and many interesting projects to try.
