- Love these books!
I think we own every one of these books, and we love them. My 5-yr-old son can do most of them on his own. We've been buying them for birthday gifts for everyone and they are a big hit.

- better than recycling
I have too much scrap paper. I was going to throw it out, but at the last moment I decided instead to buy The World Record Paper Airplane Book. Taking a sheet of scrap off the pile, I was able in a minute or two to make an Interceptor, which when launched sailed across the room and slid behind the bookcase. Scrap problem solved. I also discovered that if you make The Hornet with an extra fin in the back it boomerangs back to you when you throw it. Good times.

- Still picking up the paper
I am still finding paper airplanes in various places throughout my house 3 months after giving this to my son.

- how cool is that?!!
The World Record Paper Airplane Book is a really great item for those hard-to-buy-for preteen boys. my son received an earlier version of it some years ago and he had a ball with it (so did his older brother). they made and flew every plane in the book and then were inspired to invent their own designs. anyway, they liked it so much that i got the new version for my nephew for Christmas, and he, too, just loves it. kudos to the authors!
