Not as Good as Adam Russ' other Books But Some Humour Here

I got this after reading the hilarious 101 Places Not to Visit: Your Essential Guide to the World's Most Miserable, Ugly, Boring and Inbred Destinations and 101 Sports Not to Try: Your Essential Guide to the World's Most Dangerous, Pointless and Laughable Excuses for Recreation. Those books have a substantial larger amount of pages than this much thinner book. Office Origami, if you don't count the time making the various origami objects, only takes 20 minutes or so to read. What this book is, is basically 22 basic office related origami projects which are either helpful to store stuff in in the office, become helpful tools in the office, become a "team building" game, or just impress others sitting on the desk. Each project has an introduction on how to use the object to impress your colleagues, get them fired or use in other ways to help your career. There's a lot of great humour from Adam Russ in those intro pages as well as the introduction chapters to the book. The humour does drop off a fair bit with the final quarter of projects. Accompanying the intros is a photograph of the finished item as well as detailed diagrams on how to fold (make) the projects. There's also little post it notes telling you who came up with each origami. If you're not interested in the humour then there are better origami projects in other books but since these are all fairly basic if you haven't ever made anything before this is a good beginners book. Both paper and post it note origami projects are inside. The projects inside are Basketball Hoop Business Card Frog Shoot the Boss Boredom Box Water Cooler Cup (a great one to impress the ladies after you've thrown out the actual cups) Frog Eat Frog Paper Firecracker Snap Dragon The Naughty Elephant (or the finger when turned upside down) Oragami Quoits Rhino Hoopla Executive Decision Maker Elephant on a Motorbike Easy Glider Jet Fighter Towers of Tokyo Happy Suncatcher The Cling-On Cube The Multinodule Multinodule Stars The Magic Tube The Gift Box
