While this book has some nice models, after folding Tomoko Fuse's boxes (both Origami Boxes and Fabulous Origami BoxesFabulous Origami Boxes) it is a bit of a letdown.The boxes are not as intricate as Fuse's. However, they are easier to fold and could probably be folded by children a lot easier than Fuse's. If you love boxes, as I do, it is still worth buying. If you have not used Fuse's books, I recommend you buy them first.
With the help of "Origami Boxes" you'll never have to find another gift box. This is the umpteenth book by Florence Temko who is known for writing clear step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow. Origami Boxes features patterns for 24 different containers that you can make in sizes to fit your needs. When you use beautiful papers the boxes themselves become gifts for storing jewelry and other things. I give it five stars.

Poor quality production with items published in many other places. Would not buy if I saw it before purchase. Too far away to send back
I bought this book for one reason: The Playing Card Box. But I received much more for my money.Miss Temko teaches 24 "original" boxes, assuming that means she created them all.I really like the the Playing Card Box (super easy, fun for magician friends or card parties), the Money Basket (made from a single dollar bill; amazing) and the One-Piece Box (her method is the best I've seen).As usual with Florence Temko's books, there is a lot of bang for the buck in this book. EVen if I only walked away with the playing card box, I would have considered my $8.00 well spent.A couple of the boxes are not my style, and I find them unappealing, but that is simply a matter of my taste compared to yours.
