Summary: Review of Mathematical Origami
Review: A concise and well-written book, with clear diagrams and straightforward instructions, suitable for any beginner in the field. Includes the most well-known mathematical representation
of modular origami. Advanced users might prefer a higher-level
book. Includes a list of references for further reading that might be helpful.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Columbus Cubes or bust!
Review: Although not as fascinating as his PAPER CRYSTALS (a stellar work of modular origami), MATHEMATICAL ORIGAMI is a very solid work on the topic. David Mitchell again gives clear instructions in text and diagrams for a very intriguing branch of paperfolding. There are many books on geometric and modular origami, but Mitchell's are more than just "look at this neat design." Instead, they are well thought out and very intelligently written. A must-have for fans of the art.

Summary: Mathematical fun
Review: My office generates lots of notices printed on brightly colored paper (usually printed on only one side). This is a great use for scrap paper. I think it is somewhat challenging (highschool level). I completed all but one. (the Decorative Rhombic Dodecahedron).
Americans should note that A4 paper is not the American satandard 8.5" X 11" but it doesn't make any difference for most of the structures. When you get to the Skeletal Cube shave the 8.5 inch dimension to 7.78 inches.
