First sentence: "In 1988, a French artist named Alain Georgeot prepared an exhibition of 88 elephants."
Description: "The book contains detailed step-by-step instructions for 25 original figures and structural blueprints for many more. Origami novices will find directions for a variety of simple and charming figures, a hummingbird, an elephant, a baby. Origami aficionados will find such challenging masterpieces as a moose with a full set of antlers, a complete train, and the legendary (and never-before-published) Black Forest Cuckoo Clock." "What sets this book apart from other origami books is that in addition to the folding instructions, it presents - for the first time - comprehensive methods that allow one to design original origami figures."--Jacket.
