A helpful list of symbols at hte beginning of the book defines the various folding instructions. in addition, each model is illustrated by step-by-step diagrams with captiones that take you throuagh each step of the paperfolding process. Offering hours of personal enjoyment and satisfaction, *Origmai for Beginners* will delight and inspire both newcomers to the art and intermediate-level paperfolders.
