ab: The first thing to be clearly stated about this book is that it is not a
    book about mathematics (although it contains a few mathematical
    remarks). It is a book about origami. There exist several books about
    the interrelation between origami and mathematics. A very good one (if
    not the best that the reviewer knows) is [{\it T. Hull}, Project
    origami. Activities for exploring mathematics. Wellesley, MA: A K
    Peters. (2006; Zbl 1122.00010; ME 2011c.00895)]. Nevertheless, the book
    under review shows some beautiful mathematical objects. The
    constructions given (sometimes a bit difficult) can be the starting
    point of fruitful discussions in the classroom and it could be used as
    a tool to introduce concepts of the — sometimes neglected —
    3-dimensional elementary geometry.
