3.0 out of 5 stars Good book on a few parts., December 13, 1998

This review is from: The Complete Book of the Greenhouse (Paperback)

This is a good refrence book with a few good points but the big directory is of all places in europe and the author speaks as he wrote it in england, which he probally did. If it was updated more, ( all old greenhouse pictures) and had new process it would get more stars.

This review is from: The Complete Book of the Greenhouse (Complete Books) (Paperback)

This book was indeed written in Scotland, it may be a bit dated but it was written by a very passionate
writer who lived for detail I had great privilege of knowing him well and I have seen many excellent results from his style of gardening and greenhouse practices, I have also seen many garden book writers gardens and was quite
shocked at the state of them, as for Ians Garden it was immaculately kept, not even a blade of grass out of place.
