Incredible modular origami designs!!!
This is an impressive origami book!!! It's important to note that this is not a beginner friendly origami book!!! This is definitely a book targeted at more advanced origami folders. I haven't folded any of the patterns yet personally, but the instructions seem simple enough to follow if I patiently follow them without any time constraints. All in all, this is a wonderful collection of modular origami patterns!!!

Awesome Book for those who love Oragami
I bought this as a present for my son who has been doing modular oragami for years. He was really excited to try new styles. There are a ton of pictures and it teaches you the basics of folding modules for the intended project. I would suggest this for anyone looking for a gift to give an enthusiast or someone who has been tinkering with oragami for a little bit.

Very complicated. Lots of maths. I'm probably too impatient, but my thought is that you need to be quite experienced with origami to have good results from this.

Challenging
For those who love oragami, it’s a must have. Super challenging, but that’s the point isn’t it! Does not come with paper.

This book expects you to know the genre of Modular Origami well before starting it.
Some very difficult models! I have experience with modular origami models. These ones were a new challenge for me in that for the second half of the book it requires very specific rectangular cuts of paper. The majority of the difficulty is not is folding the units but in the weaving of them to construct the model. Expect to have to look at the reference images intensely to figure out exactly where to weave what part. I do wish it came with more reference images, showing exact angles and weaving directions but the ones present are the minimum required to show you exactly what to do. This is an excellent book showing how to model some of the most fascinating interlocked models in all of origami. There are tons of models like this in this book which makes it very worth getting.

Quite possibly my favorite origami book
I pre-ordered this book in February 2016 and was thrilled when it was finally released and arrived in my doorstep. Immediately after I opened it up I took a look through all the diagrams and decided that it was worth the wait! The diagrams are gorgeous and detailed and in color, which is helpful since the units can be quite complex, and it really highlights how the unit should look at each step.I've been working my way through from the front of the book and starting to tackle the wire frames in the second half of the book. The weaving instructions are detailed and explain and show you how the symmetry of the models work, so you get to fully understand how they fit together, versus blindly following instructions. (This is something I have found to be lacking in the construction of the first wire frame I ever folded, Tom Hull's Five Intersecting Tetrahedra, so I was pleased to find such instruction in this book.)If you purchase this (an action I heartily recommend) you should start clearing some room to display your models! They will take some time, but the end results are worth it.

excellent for a teenager
I bought this product for my grandson who is 16 years old. He loves it. This product takes a lot of patience,but produces fabulous results. Artistic and improves spatial vision.It would be too difficult for younger than 10 years old.
