4.0 out of 5 stars House Beautiful, Yes -- Practical, No, March 19, 2004

This review is from: House Beautiful Pools (Hardcover)

This remains faithful to the House Beautiful theme -- wealthy "picture perfect" pools, but not very practical. Only about three of the pools would be useful for 90% of the inground pools that might be built. Not even very many good ideas that are not already known by most anyone who has seen pools in magazines. Most would take a full-time pool employee to maintain. Still, very good pictures in large format, so it deserves some credit.
