As far as the book goes it is great it arrived in good condition and the book has very helpful instruction. But the shipper (not Amazon) did a terrible job getting it my house. It shipped from my home state and it still took almost a month to get here. I was not happy about that.

I purchased this book for the specific design with the Lattice Gate and Arbor as shown on the cover, however the directions and material list for that particular design were not included in this book...Otherwise a great book if you have your heart set on another design...
