SUMMARY- Two dragons! And a Klingon Bird of Prey! I'm in nerd heaven. There are some fun models in this book. The instructions are well broken down and the illustrations are small but legible. These are challenging folds, so I wouldn't buy this book for a young kid or a complete novice unless you were willing (assuming you are an experienced folder) to sit down and help puzzle out the models.
Small note- I hated the fonts and layout of this book. Each page has a watermark bill as a background and the written instructions are in a very light type, plus the busy background is very distracting from the illustrated folds. The book will lay open flat because of the metal comb binding, but they chose rings that are a little too tight, so the pages do not turn smoothly. This means the pages are going tear and look ruffled in short order. This is all the publisher, who with their experience really should have known better. I try to keep my books in good shape, and that will be nearly impossible in this case. Because of the odd sizing and the nonuniform thickness, it's not going to play well with others on your bookshelf. Your mileage may, of course, vary.
