Best Book for Money Folding

This book is by far the coolest book I have come across for folding money. The designs are very unique and the photos of the finished pieces are beautiful. There is a great section in the front of the book that explains all of the folds you will need to use. Folds are color coded through the entire book to keep things clear. I would suggest this book to anyone interested in money folding. Designs range from easy to complicated so there is something for every skill level to try. Lastly, this book offers some great ideas to present your finished pieces as gifts. There are instructions for folding boxes, envelopes, and making leis.

The best $ fold book

This is by far the best $ fold book I own. The directions are great and the ideas are very different. Even the difficult folds are explained pretty well. The book also shows how to do some regular paper folds like boxes etc. Awesome book & a great place to start for beginers!!!

Bought this for my son

My teenager loves oragami so I thought he might like this book. He did. You need fresh NEW money though or the folds won't hold right. Lots of cute designs inside.

Excellent book! Great Designs! Very thorough

I love this book! I've bought several money origami books and this hands down is the most comprehensive book I've seen. Here are some major pros in this book: 1. The designs are all accurate - which has not been the case for all the books I've purchased. 2. She gives detailed folding instructions. I know some have complained about this, but really if you've never read an orgiami design before it will take a little for you to understand how to follow them. This is true for ANY book. Origami instructions have a standard notation which she explains quite well in the introduction of the book - don't skip this if you've never folded before. Other books don't have as detailed instructions. 3. The designs are color coded which makes them very easy to follow. 4. the spiral binding makes it easy to lay the book down while following the design (more important feature than you may think). 5. She shows accurate, clear, large pictures of the completed design. She provides a little history of origami and a very nice introduction for beginners. She even provides folds for envelopes for the design. I have never seen this done before and was very pleased and impressed. If you are a beginner folder it is a little struggle to learn how to fold. There are many resources on the web if you are having trouble. In truth, despite some of the other reviews here, I often recommend this book for the novice folder. It takes you through some easier designs and some more complicated designs. It gives you a chance to work your way up. I started with "The Buck Book" and moved to this one. Although the buck book has some nice designs (and I'd recommend it), this book has some very unique designs that make great gifts. I wonder if any of the reviewers, that had a negative impression of this book, have seen any of the other origami books out there. By comparison this is a great book that I recommend to anyone interested in money folding.

I love this book, it's easy to understand if you already know a bit about origami other wise I would not suggest using this as a first time book. I use these folding for tips at resturants and the waitresses LOVE them.
