The basic mechanisms of paper engineering are really very simple. The trick is in the way you combine the different principles and add your artwork. I have written two books to help introduce the techniques to the beginner. I will also include on this page examples of various mechanisms for you to try.

The books are available from amazon.com in North America or amazon.co.uk in Europe. Alternatively you can order the books from a good book shop or directly from the publisher (www.tarquin-books.demon.co.uk).
