Review -
I love craft and that's why I requested this book. Unlike many origami books, this book did not have kiddish designs. At the very beginning of the book are the symbol explanations and a VERY short tutorial (2 pages) for the traditional folds. This will help new hobbyists to be able to follow the later tutorials. Most of the pieces in this book are quite advanced and total newbies would be well advised to have some help or a mentor available for the later tutorials. The tutorials are clearly illustrated and explained, so it's possible that a patient and keen intermediate level origamist could fold most of the included sculptures (the author advises against newbies trying these folds).
the book comprises of step-by-step instructions for making eight amazing origami planes, each of them having an even amazing history. The origami aircrafts included in this book are- Black Knight, B-2 Spirit, F-117 Nighthawk, SR-71 Blackbird, F-22 Raptor, J-20 Mighty Dragon, F-35 Lightning, Sukhoi Su-57. The step-by-step method for each and every aircraft was amazing. The only thing which made me give this book 4/5 stars is the fact that the origami aircrafts are very complicated, that is, it can't be done by a beginner or a person who just doesn't know anything about origami. In fact, I myself was able to make only 6 out of the 8 designs given. But still I loved this book very much. It takes origami to the next level. I definitely recommend it to people who love craft and engineering.
I thank NetGalley and the Publishers for giving me this amazing opportunity to improve my origami knowledge.
