A book which looks as good as an art book but is as informative as a reference book, I return to it again and again when trying to think of new origami designs which move

I've never made pop-ups before, and I found this book to have clear instructions and step by step photographs. With a combination of specific projects and pictures illustrating variations on specific techniques, this book will keep me busy for awhile. This is not a children's book, although it is probably accessible to middles school students and above (some portions are quite advanced however). See Joan Irvine's books for popup projects and instructions specifically written for children.

Origami from simple and basic to complex and demanding, beautifully photographed. A section on the butterflies of Yoshizawa hints at the artistic and creative possibilities of the craft.

A very good beginners book on basic pop-up construction. Simple diagrams and clear photographs.
