Review: Buy it. If you want to have endless fun creating some really nice and usefull boxes that can be used for gifts, then grab this book. It's a little hard to get used to the diagrams first, but when u get used to it, everything's fine! I really impressed a lot of people with these boxes. This is a must for all advanced/expert origamists. In fact, everyone can try it, but some models will give you headaches when it's time to assemble all the parts together. Anyway, patience is the key word for any origami project...

Summary: Fabulous is an understatement!
Review: I have a passion for boxes of almost any kind. As a kid I even treasured shoe boxes and old cigar boxes. When I found Fuse's book Origami boxes I bought it immediately and have enjoyed some of the delightful patterns in it. This year when the hospital auxillary had its craft and bake sale to raise money for its various charitable projects, it requested that donated baked goods be in "containers that don't have to be returned." I used Fuse's square, triangular and hexagonal boxes shapes, done in Christmas wrapping paper for the tops and sturdy white craft paper for the bottoms, with which to package my contribution. When I stopped by the sale to see how it was going and to make my own purchases, every single box I had donated had already been purchased. Although my cookies are pretty good, I still think it was Fuse's clever boxes that made the items so salable. I purchased Fabulous Origami Boxes to add to my collection, and I must say the lady has outdone herself. I was curious to see if she could possibly come up with new shapes, and she has. Her lamp-shaped bowl and her party plates are both new to me. I can certainly see where the latter would make novel serving dishes for chips or other dry snacks for parties. More than this, however, Fuse has embellished her simple square box pattern in several novel ways that, with change in paper choice, could yield an infinite variety of styles suitable for any occasion. My favorites are the box decorated with four folded lilies, the one with the origami rabbit, and the one with the paper heart. All would make charming gift boxes. In fact, I'm planning on starting after the New Year with my new project for next Christmas' craft and bake sale. Dozens of origami gift boxes in every conceivable size, shape and paper! Am I going to have fun or what?

Summary: Mediocre Book
Review: It's an ok book, but it leaves a lot to the imagination. It could use some more details on connecting parts. The box designs are more than brilliant, they are a more than 5 stars on their own, the only real problem, is that there weren't too many designs.

Summary: Excellent and Carefully Explained Origami Instruction
Review: This is an excellent book for beginners and more advanced folders. Fuse, as usual, has great pictures and well diagrammed models which take you step by step through making simple and complex boxes. I adore her books and boxes.
