It's a great little book - easy to read, full of useful info. The pictures are a little dated, but the text is timely and well written.

This review is from: Landscape Design: A Practical Approach (5th Edition) (Paperback)
I have to use this book in a class and the photos included in this edition are almost impossible to see. It looks like they were xeroxed before adding. They are very dark and you can't see any details which makes them useless. And for the price you have to pay for the book, they ought to be ashamed to be publishing this stuff. Just buy a used earlier edition because this one is worthless. The text may be useful, but if you can't see the accompanying picture in this very visual discipline, what's the point?

This review is from: Landscape Design: A Practical Approach (5th Edition) (Paperback)
I went to school for landscape design but knew that I wouldn't remember every little detail. This book touches a little of everything that I learned. It has been a good resource to me.
