For the price, this book was pretty good. I would have liked to see more pictures of various landscaping techniques, but illustrations would have raised the price. I must admit, there is a fortune of text and drawings that one may bennifit from. So for the price, I give it a 4.

Who says mass market can't be good? The Sunset line of garden publications, largely geared for a California/Western audience, have stood the test of time with their colorful, easy-to-digest, useful information. Many photographs and examples abound in this one, as in all of the series. Some may find the information dated, but still an excellent source of basic timeless ideas.

This book was a little shallow on information for me. It dealt more with different types of fencing than anything else, which was helpful but not terribly creative. Some of the ideas, while very good, are rather cost-prohibitive for most people, such as constructing a sunken patio with stone walls (as seen on cover).

An inexpensive way to get some good ideas for a variety of situations. The photos were pretty but could have been larger but overall a good read.

Very dated book--the shipper sent this book a full week after the rest of my order arrived. They had misstated the condition of the book _VERY USED. A disappointment.
