Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In this gorgeously illustrated, engagingly written and all-inclusive look at paper and its extraordinary versatility as a creative medium, pre-eminent origami artist and paper engineer Paul Jackson offers both practical instruction and inspiration for anyone interested in papercraft.
In the very first section, 'Techniques,' Jackson offers a step-by-step guide to the fundamental techniques of the major paper arts; the second section, 'Themes,'presents a gallery of outstanding paperworks. He discusses paper itself and papermaking, and showcases some of the most innovative work being done yesterday by an international array of leading paper engineers and craftspeople. At the end of the book, readers will find a listing of useful addresses of papercraft organizations that publish newsletters, hold meetings or conventions and, in some cases, sell supplies.

I would have liked to have seen a Table of Contents in order to better understand what was included in the book before I purchased it. That said: I love this book. I specifically wanted to learn more about how to produce pop-up art. This book includes instructions for a variety of paper arts. Since I just completely enjoy working with paper, I'll be learning a considerable number of things in this book. It is well written and the directions are easy to follow.

This is an EXACT duplicate of the book "The Encyclopedia of Origami & Papercraft Techniques," by the same author.
If you have this title in your library DON'T buy this book.
This is the third book from Quarto publisher (& its subsidiaries) that I have purchased through amazon that was a re-issue under a new title. A terrible practise -- I am beginning to have serious reservations about buying art books through amazon.

Publishing houses who deal with origami books are becoming more and more notorious for repacking and renaming old books and presenting them as "new." Paul Jackson is a wonderful paper artist and teacher, and as I understand it, he has no control over what publishers do with this title since he sold the rights to it over 15 years ago, but this book has been around since ca. 1991. Now a publisher wants to sell it with a new title and new cover. You have to be Sherlock Holmes anymore to find out if a "new" origami book is original material or a retread. Please do your research before you buy and try to determine if you already own the book in another format. I want to emphasize that Paul Jackson disavows any collusion in this matter and says he doesn't make any money off these reproductions of his old works. My rating of the book is not based on its merits but on the ethical dealings of the publisher.
