OK, I have to gloat! I won this in a GOODREADS giveaway. Awesome color, sturdy stock paper, very easy but detailed origami-esqe instructions. So much fabulous fun in this not as tiny as it looks book. Get one for everyone on your Christmas list. But, don't wait, get one for yourself now... (insert me humming "TOPGUN" theme music here then shouting, "DANGERZONE".... yes, I'm playing with a few of them now; Cats and kids are ducking for cover!)

Now this aerospace engineer and paper airplane world record-holder since 1983 teams up with Jeff Lammers, a mechanical engineer, to create an everything-you-need resource for beginning and show more experienced flyers alike. Mixing science, innovation, and their catching enthusiasm, the world record paper airplane book features: sixteen models, with five full-color versions of each, a full-color pull-out landing strip for accuracy practice, and a flight log. show less
