”Nikhil has taken just one idea for a modular origami star and developed it into an understanding of and process for creating more new models than one can imagine. To reveal new possibilities is a wonder, but his stimulating guidance for creativity by the readers is a remarkable gift for our paper folding community. Nikhil’s book is spectacular. Enjoy it.”
