"The book is nicely presented, with a velvet lamination on the cover, with good use of spot UV varnish, giving the title and photographs a glossy, vibrant finish. /t measures approximately 8 34" x 10", and about 34" thick, with a section sewn binding (sewn in multiple sections and glued along the spine), this allows the book to be opened out, without damaging the spine. There are large, bright pictures, clear diagrams and written instructions for each 'project'. The book starts with the table of contents, listing the 18 different models (each model is a 'project'), across three chapters, 'Rings and Stars', 'Polyhedra' and 'Action Models'. Following the contents, there's a detailed introduction and 'Getting Started', chapters. As part of the introduction, there's a comprehensive list of useful terms, which is thorough, although a little maths heavy. Having said that, this book is all about modular origami, and a basic understanding of the mathematical concepts and the underlying polyhedra is necessary, in order to build many of the models. 'Getting Started' covers everything that you need to know, from paper choice, to symbols and sizing paper. So, to summarise, Modular Origami is a nicely presented book that contains an interesting selection of both original models and classics from other designers, each accompanied with clear diagrams and written instructions. The models range from simple to high intermediate and are grouped into categories so it's well worth dipping in and out picking models that appeal to you. And, if you can't quite manage them on your first attempt, put it down and come back to it, be it the next day or a few weeks' time!" -- Edward Holmes, British Origami
