LITTLE JEWEL
I am new to origami. Before this I could only do the usual boat or plane.
This is a perfect introduction to the many aspects of origami. Contains a brief introduction to folding, and then starts with thematic chapters: classical origami, animals, party, geometrical, practical, etc.
The book has good photos, which describe each step clearly. Thus it is instructive and entertaining, you want to learn more about origami. I find the last chapter (modular and geometric origami) particularly inspiring, even if I haven't dared to give it a try.
I find it perfect for anybody who wants to start origaming right away. I would buy it again, without doubt!
