This review is from: Better Homes and Gardens Water Gardens: Pools, Streams and Fountains (Better Homes & Gardens Gardening) (Paperback)

After readign the other reviews I purchased this book. I am very disappointed. I had a lot of questions and this book failed to answer them. It is not very detailed or complete. I found the book "Waterfalls, Ponds and Streams" to be much more detailed and complete. It provides much better quidance in building a pond and stream.
