I bought this book based on the reveiw given by Hamsterdance. While it is a beautiful book to look at, it does not actually provide all the steps needed to take you from the beginning of a project all the way through the end. Partial explanations are given about how the artists does this or that. Other then oragami, neither graphic, nor explanitory descriptive is given in how paper is actually sculpted,casted etc.. If you want a coffee table book, this is it. If you want to learn how to sculp, or cast paper, keep looking.

This is a wonderful book filled with over 15 projects including folded paper (origami), assembled paper (paper sculpture) and art created with paper pulp. Beautiful and inspirational galleries after each project show you more advanced artwork using similar techniques and opening your eyes to endless possibilities.
Each project includes a materials list and is demonstrated step by step with photos and sometimes illustrations. Helpful tips for each are also included. Though the instructions are good, there are no templates and some artistic talent or experience is necessary for many of the projects. My favorite projects include a washi doll, twisted paper box, and a pulp painting.
In the back there is a nice list of suppliers and websites as well as a few organizations and educational programs. There is also a directory of artists with contact information. If you want a sampling of the paper art or just need inspiration this is the book to get.
