Origami Page-A-Day 2004 Calendar

Summary: Best Calendar EVER!!
Review: I just bought this calendar for this calendar and couldn't resist making some of the models immediately. Luckily I had some extra origami paper lying around the house. You don't need the extra paper, as someone else has said, you use the paper from the day before, but by doing this you lose the directions, and since I was jumping around days I didn't want to pull out papers months before I'm supposed to get there. Like the $2 suit which come on June 14 and 15. I just couldn't wait. Of course with that one I used money. One downside to this calendar is that it uses one page for both Saturday and Sunday so you only get to do one project on the weekends. So sad. Also on a few days it tells you some facts or some history of origami which are interesting but take away from more projects. It has easy to understand directions and comes with a fold out sheet with symbols and those starter diagram things (I don't know the real name for them). This is a must have even if you already have a calendar for the year.

Summary: The pages aren't square
Review: I'm a big fan of origami, so I was really looking forward to using my calendar. It really does have a huge variety of fun things to fold. However, the pages (on my copy of the calendar, at least) aren't exactly square. They come very close (mine are less than 1/16" off) but this difference is enough to make folding difficult if you're trying to be precise. So I'm rather disappointed by that. But if it doesn't bother you that the models probably won't be perfect due to this, then this is a great calendar.

Summary: The pages aren't square
Review: The pages of my calendar are not square. They measure 145mm X 147mm. 2mm might not sound like a lot but it makes a big difference in the final product. This product is likely to turn beginners against origami. It is like trying to teach someone guitar on an instrument that is out of tune. The end product will never be good and the student will become frustrated.
