Awful! Not worth the money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Portfolio of Fence and Gate Ideas (Portfolio of Ideas) (Paperback)
This book was completely useless in helping plan my fence/deck. It's just a collection of photos from various industry associations and manufacturers; OK, as far as that goes, but there are very few photos - generally one per page (84 pages); that means, few ideas! To top that, the same photos appear repeatedly throughout the book - one photo shows up 4 times!! The text is sparse and very general. This is certainly not much of a portfolio - going to the library & flipping through the deck/garden magazines will serve you better. There are a whole raft of "Portolio" books put out by the same publisher - I will not buy anything else by them!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Adequate if you don't expect too much,
By Guido Bruce (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Portfolio of Fence and Gate Ideas (Portfolio of Ideas) (Paperback)
This book did provide a "portfolio" of photos of fences and gates as advertised, however, it repeats many of the photos in various sections of the book. If you are grasping for ideas and need a reasonable number of photos for inspiration, this book may be adequate. If you are looking for a wealth of photos, it may not be the book for you.

This review is from: Portfolio of Fence and Gate Ideas (Portfolio of Ideas) (Paperback)
ISBN 0865739927 - If this book was a magazine, it would be earning itself a 4 star ranking. As a book, it's almost a joke. For 10 bucks, it's a bad joke.With very little text and repeating photos, it's Fence and Gate Ideas for the Homeowner with a Short-Attention Span. The photos are lovely and present some nice ideas. Unfortunately, that's the total value of the book - some pretty pictures. The text is not particularly informative, but it does provide some basics. Of course, the greatest problem with this sort of book (even if it had been a fantastic book) is that things become outdated. A magazine on the topic, something printed last month, is far more likely to yield useful, current info. Let the kids cut the photos out of this one so that it's not a total waste. - AnnaLovesBooks
