We often trumpet new, exciting origami books that go a level further, but I
do find it very sad when I pick up a so called 'beginners' book and find it
quite poorly laid out and/or with unsatisfactory models. I recently picked
up a 'discount' book at my local paper shop - a beautiful looking box set
with a colourful cover, only to find tacky printed paper and models full of
cutting and requiring a great stretch of imagination to meet their title!
The book in question, Folded Fun Beginner's Origami : Dr. Yonsuku Kaneshiro.
I just hope not too many kids buy it/are given it, then give up origami in
disappointment - we really need to start setting a standard -but not sure
how? Maybe carry an endorsement by NOA/BOS/OUSA etc?
Just a quick gripe at a waste of A$16!
