SUMMARY- I was gobsmacked when I saw the cover of this book and knew I had to have it. I'm so glad I did. He put his yacht into his bottle model. His bottle model is folded from the clear plastic you use to cover book dust jackets(it creases well). His exhibitionist is hilarious(we call them flashers in the USA). His fox hunt is evocative, and his three wise men are the best I've ever seen. I only know of two books by him(I will be hunting down the other one shortly), but he was the chairman of the British Origami Society, so he may have more models published in their magazine. He doesn't shy away from doing human figures, which I have found to be rare. His models are well above my current capabilities, but they're a great goal to shoot for. I can't wait!
