Book Reviews of Floral Origami Globes
Book Review: Clear Instructions but a serious translation error
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife is a fan of Tomoko Fuse's work and purchased this book for its clear instructions and excellent illustrations. Unfortunately, she began her first projects using the English dimensions for the paper sheet size specified in the book and quickly found that those dimensions will not work.
The projects call for sheets which are 12cm X 6cm or a perfect 2 to 1 ratio. Every time these metric dimensions are mentioned in the book, English system dimensions of 4-1/4 in X 2-1/2 in are also listed. A sheet that is actually 12cm X 6cm would convert to 4.724in X 2.362in, maintaining the 2:1 ratio. The dimensions listed simply won't work as my wife soon discovered. Using sheets that are 4-3/4 X 2-3/8 or 5 X 2-1/2 will work fine, but having the wrong sizes listed is sure to confuse beginners.
Hopefully this gross dimension conversion error will be corrected in future editions.
Obviously, several of the previous reviewers are from countries, who, unlike the United States, and like most of the civilized world use a superior system of measurements instead of holding on to a outmoded system which should have been replaced years ago. However, since this is an English edition, the conversion error should be addressed.
