Many of the designs in this book make use of cuts to simplify the folding method.

A full copy of the book can be found online at www.bnm.me.gov.ar/giga1/libros/00089681/00089681.pdf

I have not included all the material in the book on this page. I have omitted some of the very simple folds with which the book begins, some examples of cardboard modelling / cartonaje and some of the mathematical paperfolds with which the book ends.
