SUMMARY- I like Mr. Engel's sense of humor, and there are models here I am very eager to try. I spent a great deal of time with his first book trying to navigate his philosophy and math. This book is much more accessible, if a good bit shorter, alas. He's an interesting fellow, and his models are exciting. I am really happy he included a DVD of instructions with the book, but they are only for three of the models. He has a couple of short "blooper" videos, and another where he talks about the philosophy behind his folding. I am happy I picked this one up. I was a little intimidated by his first book - this one is much more accessible, and makes me think I should revisit the first one again once I've folded a few models from this one...
