As an origami book this is a fine read. Every creation is a cat of some sort. However, it is very useful that illustrations are used for final version as well as actual photos because otherwise it might be hard to tell what some of the creations are. Some just look like squashed paper, based on photos alone. I also happen to like that the first page of each pattern illustrates the completed size in comparison to the start sheet. To this reader the best patten is the Neko Bookmark. ( )
