Beautiful but not practical!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pools (Good Ideas) (Hardcover)
I bought the book as an aid to planning my own pool. Although the book is beautifully photographed and composed, there is very little to help the average homeowner. The pools are all vey exotic, probably European and definitely in estate settings. The book description mentioned hundreds of pools; there are only a few dozen and the few drawings are too small to be useful. Yes, POOLS is a beautiful book but only for the coffee table.

A beautifully researched, photographed, and produced book with
many fine examples of pools and landscapes that fit well in their surrounds.
