SUMMARY- Mr. Shafer loves to entertain, sight gags, and action-oriented origami. There is ten years between his first book and this one, and he chose to self-publish this time rather than go back to St. Martin's Press - don't know why. You can see from the Table of Contents that quite a few models accumulated in that decade. He has boundless imagination and sense of fun, and he expresses them well in his books.
