I've often been interested in origami but never heard of an origami box until a friend introduced them to me. Besides being decorative they are rather a funtional craft for creating presents and holding small keepsakes. The books directions and illustrations are easier to follow than some crafts texts. I intend to use this as a manual for a adults' chafts class; material is inexpensive and the directions are easy for the beginner. The color photography does an excellent job of illustrating the variety of possibilities in colors and configurations.
