Beautiful Book,
By Caeden's Mom (Central FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Master Built Pools and Patios: An Inspiring Portfolio of Design Ideas (Hardcover)
This really is a beautifully inspiring book. While many of the products in the book are out of reach for the individual with an average income, it offers some great ideas that you can incorporate into something that is a little more within your reach. The details are very nice and descriptive. It will also serve well as a nice coffee table book.

This review is from: Master Built Pools and Patios: An Inspiring Portfolio of Design Ideas (Hardcover)
I would think if you were going to provide a book and list the pool companies you would also list the material contractors and possibly the artisans.
I installed the materials on one of the North Carolina pools. The pool contractor likely had no idea where the materials came from and initially provided substandard labor. Hardly qualifying for a master pool rating. The materials used were economical and high quality -the impression is that these are out of common reach installations. Hardly the case. Excellent pictoral representation of the projects however.

Master Built Pools and Patios,
By Canine Country & Golden Horse Farm & Stables ... (Williston, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Master Built Pools and Patios: An Inspiring Portfolio of Design Ideas (Hardcover)
If I could have viewed some pages of this book it may have inspired me to purchase it. It is quite an expensive book foo the topic and without a chance to look first, I think you may lose some buyers.
