SUMMARY- This is a fantastic book that pushes the envelope on what's possible with folded paper. Mr. LaFosse gets a much more organic look in these models, and his chapter on making your own paper is very exciting to read. His video tutorials rock. I was really happy I came across this one and got to add it to my personal library. It will get well used.
