"There are those who stay within conventional boundaries to achieve what is probable. There are also those who push such boundaries to transform what some say is impossible into the possible. The 30 contemporary paper artists featured in this book are part of the latter ... artists who push the limits of paper art to create works that are truly breathtaking. As we admire the works of paper artists like Anne Vought, Rob Ryan, Elsa Mora, Jill Sylvia and many more, we find inspiration to push our own works to new heights." --CRESCENDoh.com
 
“The book, handsomely assembled, explores paper architecture, engineering, sculpture, installations and illustrations that will delight, amaze and confound the viewer.” --American Style magazine
