 Origami
by Hidaki Sakata
Paperback

Here's one of my favorite books. This is a good place to start. Great at covering the bases such as the crane, rabbit, pinwheel, yakko and balloon. Not only are these used to make the specific figure the base is named after, but they are starting places to make a variety of figures. If you want to get to FIRST BASE in origami, this is a great place to start.

Try this book first.
I know you'll like it!
