Once again, Gallery Origami House has produced a lovely edition of a book, and filled it with amazing content. Mr. Lang's complex models really shine in this book - there are beautiful color photos (at least two views of all the models) at the beginning, and meticulous (and bilingual) diagrams complete with crease patterns and relative size information for each model.
Complex folders need look no further for a book to keep them busy for quite some time. These models require skill to fold successfully - and then practice to be able to fold them so they look half as nice as the examples in the photos. I'm not a big fan of real insects, and these are so lifelike that they give me the willies. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to bring myself to try folding the Centipede...
