Customer Reviews

Nice origami book

This book contains a collection of fifteen original origami models by John Montroll. They are really for the intermediate level paperfolder who has mastered the techniques of inside and outside reverse folds along with some squashing and collapsing techniques and who can fold reasonably accurately. There are no photographs of finished models, but the computerised diagrams are clear and the models are attractive when made up. This would make a nice gift and anyone who enjoys Montroll's work will like the book.

Good collection of bird models

This is actually a good collection of Montroll's birds. I find folding Montroll's birds a good break from some of the more complicated models and the book's price can't be beat. There are 15 models of birds consisting of a Duck, Swan, Goose, Flamingo, Pelican, Heron, Pheasant, Seagull, Hummingbird, Cardinal, Cormorant, Stork, Eagle, Canary, and Parrot. Although if you are looking for a book to get you started in Origami I would suggest "Teach Yourself Origami" which is a great book to work your way into Origami and Montroll's models.

Awsome birds of Origami

I bought three books lately and this is my favorite. It only cost about three bucks so you can't beat the price and the models are great. I particularly like the Parrot, Eagle and Humming bird. The most complicated bird is the Pheasant because of step 26, but it's probably just me. Get this book you will not regret it!

Where's the Crane?

This is a great book, I love all the birds. The folds are real easy to learn. Great price. But the book loses one star based on the fact the most common origami bird is left out. Mr. Montroll, where is the Crane?

For intermediate-level folders.

Here are some fair origami birds. Good design, easy to fold. For origami fan and model designers, birds are relatively easy to handle. And the results are always satisfying owing to their easily folding process. Montroll gives examples here.
