Organized into four chapters, the first two chapters discuss more general considerations such as choosing the correct paper and basic folding techniques. The following two chapters examine folds that can be achieved when working on a budget, and if you have a bit more money to spend. Each fold is illustrated with detailed diagrams that show the direction of the fold. The book includes examples of finished work that have used that particular format (brochure, chart, pamphlet, etc) and is accompanied by a list of all the considerations such as print requirements, compensations, suitable paper stock, and so on.
