SUMMARY- This book is an utter delight. While it doesn't go into depth on any of the given subjects, you do get a great ground floor view of the dizzying heights. The origami and pop-up book sections are the big winners, but they're all an enjoyable read. I learned a great deal, and the written instructions are clear and easy to understand.
