Summary: Lots of Fun
Comment: I never knew paper airplanes could fly so well. Right from the start you'll be able to build simple planes that fly straight and far. The short paragraphs about each plane, in which the author sometimes explains how he discovered the design of the plane, are fun to read. The flying tips included with some designs are helpful. The only problem with the book, and the reason I didn't give it five stars, is that the diagrams and instructions for some designs are confusing. For example, I can't build the last plane even after spending about an hour and several sheets of paper on it. It would be really helpful to have actual photographs of some of the more complicated planes at certain steps in the building process. Regardless, for me the book was worth it after I built plane number one.

Summary: Fun book, be a kid and have some fun
Comment: This is a great book on paper airplanes and some origami paper toys. It is mostly about airplanes and there is airplane after airplane on page after page. No matter what you want your airplane to do, glide for long distance, do tricks or just plain look cool, it is in this book. Unlike some other books on this subject it does not have any premarked papers secured to the inside of the book that you can rip out and fold. On the other hand, these planes use ordinary paper and have such good illustrations that you can make them without any premarked patterns on the paper. I love the book. I've folded most of the planes and flew them. It makes me a popular person at children get togethers and allows me to be a child again once in a while myself.
The only thing that I don't like is that it has no theory of paper airplanes. If you fold one and it does not seem to be acting right then there is nothing in here that might teach you how to correct the problem. If you want to learn the aerodynamics involved in making a paper airplane act the way it does, how lift and drag affect the flight, etc, then this book is useless to you. But if you just want to follow the diagrams and make some great airplanes that are consistently fun, then this is your book.
Just "plane" fun.

Summary: wonderful
Comment: This book is an amazing book. It has every possible airplane design you could ever want. If you want a stunt plane, you got it. If you want a glider, you got it. If you want a plane to smack your sister in the forehead, you got it. This is the book for you! (cheesy smile here)
