Mathematical origami: Geometrical shapes by paper folding / David Mitchell
This book is amazing!
Ok, it doesn't teach you how to fold cranes, or unicorns and what-have-you.
But it does teach you how to fold mathematical shapes. It's not boring - on the contrary, many of the shapes are quite interesting! They're really simple, and the instructions are easy to follow (unlike instructions for folding more complicated figures such as animals).
I particularly liked the rhombic star, and the ring of rotating tetrahedra (which claimed the attention of a class-full of people...somehow.)
The only downside? You need paper. Lots of it.
Who would enjoy this book? People who enjoy maths and origami!
