Crafts - Origami

New York: Kodansha America Inc., 1993. 64 pages.Text pages clean and bright, binding is tight. Cover shows mild wear to corners. Ex-library with typical pocket (inside front cover), spine label (and spine reinforced with clear book tape), and stamps/notations to title page. Last page damaged by adhering to a large patch of adhesive revealed when the original origami paper was removed. I have mended the page with acid-free document mending tape and covered the remaining adhesive with paper tape, but the damage is still visible. I have also provided several sheets of high-quality origami paper from my own supplies to start folding with.This book gives the basics of origami, and instructions for ten dinosaurs to create. Colour photographs of each model plus complete how-to diagrams. Dinosaurs included are: Apatosaurus, Anchisaurus, Allosaurus, Diplodocus, Edmontosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Dimetrodon, Pteranodon, Rhamphorhyncus, Iguanodon, Godzilla (I suppose we could hardly expect a Japanese book to resist the temptation!), and Ornitholestes. Each is coded as to degree of difficulty and each has an introductory paragraph with information about the animal. Amazing book for all ages.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Good. 7.25 x 10 in. (18.5cm x 25cm). Ex-Library. more information
