Book Description

March 1, 2004
Want to attract birds to your backyard sanctuary? This book is for you. For years, birdhouses were used to attract songbirds and protect vanishing species. Today, they are prized as folk art and desired because of the aesthetic qualities they bring to the home and garden.

From fanciful houses that resemble animal figures to more traditional designs, such as dovecote and martin houses, this exquisite book features gorgeous birdhouses and tells the stories behind them.

Author Leslie Garisto provides suggestions for using birdhouses as design accents in the garden or home and provides advice on what to look for, where to shop, and how much to pay for authentic birdhouses.

4.0 out of 5 stars New Birdhouse Book: Inspiration and Instruction for Building 50 Birdhouses, January 9, 2007

This review is from: The New Birdhouse Book: Inspiration and Instruction for Building 50 Birdhouses (Paperback)
This book was quite useful. However, I also purchased "Build Your Own Birdhouses and Feeders: From Simple, Natural Designs to Spectacular, Customized Houses and Feeders" at the same time. I was very disappointed to find that the plans were almost all EXACTLY THE SAME.

2.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Light Here, November 16, 2008
This review is from: The New Birdhouse Book: Inspiration and Instruction for Building 50 Birdhouses (Paperback)
I am always looking for inspiration and alternatives for my birdhouse designs. The first part of this book caught my fancy with great photographs. Sadly the section on design plans was a great disappointment with little or no illustrations or photographs of completed houses. Also, there was no index in my edition. Bummer...wish I had bought it used rather than paying full price.

This review is from: The New Birdhouse Book: Inspiration and Instruction for Building 50 Birdhouses (Paperback)
How do you put out a book like this with no pictures of the finished projects? Ridiculous! I wish I could give it ZERO stars!
