New BooksA trip to Boston allowed me topay a visit to the SausugaBookstore where I was able topick up the following new books(Except for PAPERCONCEPTIONS which waspurchased from Kims Cranehttp://www.kimscrane.com).PAPER CONCEPTIONS byÁkos Horn and József Zsebe.

th

PaperConceptionsThanks to the Internet, I often findmyself very familiar with thecover of a book, but completely inthe dark as to its contents. Onesuch book was PAPERCONCEPTIONS by ÁkosHornand József Zsebe. I had alwaysbeen impressed by the cover, but itwas not until I saw a copy on E-Bay that I had any idea whatcould be found between its covers.A seller on E-Bay had scannedabout a dozen pages for hisauction. I saw beautiful photosand apparently clear diagrams. Aquick trip to Kim’s Crane

(http://www.kimscrane.com) and snap it up before it goes out ofa copy was on order. Two days print.later I had it in hand.

PAPER CONCEPTIONScontains beautiful color platesshowing the finished models, andoften, their real-life counterparts.Clear and uncluttered diagramslead the folder through twenty (20)different models. Beginning witha simple mouse and rooster, thefolder will be quickly drawn intothe other beautiful modelsincluding a lidded box and animalssuch as bear, giraffe, bison, eagle,swan, pelican, beetle, dragon, owland others. There is also aflower, complete with pot, stemand leaf and a marvelous face (asseen on the cover).

These models have a verycomplex look to them, but that ismisleading. These models are notcomplex, just very artistic. Themost complex is the Ostrich whichonly has twenty-seven steps.Most of the models are just over adozen steps. The authors havedesigned models that evoke thepure essence of the figure withoutgetting caught up in ultra-complexfolding. These designs are, in myopinion, on a par with many of theworks of Akira Yoshizawa,Michael LaFosse, David Brill orLionel Albertino.

PAPER CONCEPTIONScan be found at online origamisources and sells for about $12.95US (ISBN 963-03-8435-3). Thevolume is laid out in both Englishand Hungarian, but with the clarityof the diagrams, neither is reallynecessary. This is a beautiful andfun book. I recommend it highlyand also recommend that people

Jet-Propelled HovercraftFans of high-speed craft willdelight in this Hovercraft by JimAdams. Although easy to fold,one almost expects it to take offfrom the table when completed.
