What's all this buzz about origami? It seems that everywhere we look, people are folding paper!

Perhaps paper folding appeals to you, but you have never done it. What are the rules? What papers work best? Do I need any special tools? How do you read those funny diagrams? Here is the ultimate origami sampler kit for you to become acquainted with the fun and the surprising breadth of origami today. World renowned origami designers Michael G. LaFosse and Richard L. Alexander have selected these projects from several popular categories of design: traditional favourites, multi-piece flowers, clever paper airplanes, and cute and cuddly animals.
