models, including 31 birds. All models are described with difficulty level, time to fold, designer and sizes of paper and model. In addition, there is a thorough explanation of symbols and techniques.

The models are divided thematically according to design ideas and thereby provide a wealth of insight into folding and designing origami.

With a foreword by Gideon Løwy, professor and brother of Simon Andersen.
