The Origami Under the Sea book is an awesome book with many very well diagramed models of which all but 4 of the 26 models are the exact same model as in the previously released book, Origami Sea Life, which contains 38 models. The 4 new models are a very simple ray, a swordfish (which I like less than the sailfish model which was left out of this book), a very nice Siamese Fighting Fish, and a Gourami. There are 16 models from the original book Origami Sea Life which were left out of this book including one of my favorites, the Blue Shark. I was very dissappointed when I found that the book was basically a repackaged & reduced version of the original book. If you have Origami Sea Life I don't recommend this book, if you don't already have it and can't get Origami Sea Life, I highly recommend it. If this was an original book I would have given it 5 stars. John Montroll and Robert Lang are two of the best origami artists and are very good at creating amazing origami peices with clear diagrams that can be followed.

| Easy origami - John Montroll | ||
 | Author | John Montroll |
| Publisher | Dover Publications (October 5, 1992) | |
| Pages | ||
| Description | The models in this book are suitable for children and beginner origami enthusiasts. Models at the beginning of the book require 10 or less steps to complete. These are straight forward models that use valley and mountain folds only. These 4 models are easy to make but one builds upon the next. The latter 3 models begin with the House as a starting point. Note how different they all look despite the fact that they are made from the same base. | |

| Description | This book is about folding, and creating, 3 dimensional, close-backed origami models. Montroll discusses the technique of wet-folding, and demonstrates its use on the traditional crane.

| John Montroll - Origami Sculptures | ||
 | Author | John Montroll |
| Publisher | ISBN: 0486265870 | 1990 | |
| Pages | 144 pages | |
| Description | Easy-to-follow instructions for creating paper models of a swan, walrus, dachshund, penguin, peacock, camel, rhinoceros, panda, and 16 other subjects. Every finished sculpture is shown in a photograph. Includes explanation of folding symbols and brief history of origami. In this book, Montroll introduces 2 new bases, an animal base and an insect base, and uses them to create some dogs, animals and insects. As with many of Montroll's models, the finished diagrams are only a starting-point - so shaping, wet-folding and the right kind of paper are essential for a more life-like look. | |

| John Montroll - Mythological Creatures & Chinese Zodia | ||
 | Author | John Montroll |
| Publisher | ISBN: 0486289710 | 1996 | |
| Pages | 128 | |
| Description | An exciting collection of projects, including a griffin, centaur, sea serpent, wyvern, and 12 animals from the Chinese zodiac: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, snake, monkey, and 6 others. Along with the more "common" mythological beings, like the dragon and sea-serpent, there are also more "exotic" subjects, such as the chimera, Cerberus, and a 3 headed dragon! With every one comes a description about the creature. Also included, are 11 "real life" animals (plus a Chinese Dragon) representing the 12 years of the Chinese Zodiac. For every one of those models, full information about the beliefs associated with those born in the year of this animal are noted, as well as the Chinese and Japanese writing and pronunciation of the animal's name. | |

| John Montroll - Bugs And Birds In Origami | ||
 | Author | John Montroll |
| Publisher | 2001-05-08 | ISBN: 0486417735 | |
| Pages | 128 | |
| Description | While not one of Montroll's best books, there are some interesting models here. 20 birds and 8 insects are featured. I feel that the completed birds are nice as a starting form, but should be worked on a little more to give a more "lively" feel to them. The insects are somewhat "cartoonish", but that is because we've been spoiled by other origami designers, who create much more realistic insects. Montroll's insects, however, like most of his models, are not as complex as others', and are more enjoyable to fold. | |
