This is an all around outstanding book for learning how to make modular origami, from basic shapes to enhanced designs.
The book begins with folding tips to help as you progress into subsequent chapters.
The drawings are excellent and the photos are beautiful.
There is also a section on origami mathematics, science and technology in the appendix!

3.5 stars. Some good designs for the base pieces, but the actual instructions for the assembly of the different shapes is less clear, and occasionally I needed help from outside sources to complete them.
