1.0 out of 5 stars Very outdated photos
The photos are very outdated, many black and whites from days gone by, not at all what the cover reflects. I returned this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational and Substantive, August 10, 2000
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reflections on the Pool: California Designs for Swimming (Hardcover)
Detailed analysis of a few each of several different types of pools: lap pools, "natural" pools, indoor pools, famous pools, etc., all in California. Not a construction manual, but full of details worth considering when designing a pool. A must for anyone considering getting a pool on a difficult or very special piece of land.

5.0 out of 5 stars A topnotch swimming pool anthology, January 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Reflections on the Pool: California Designs for Swimming (Hardcover)
The photography is fabulous. Many of the pools were designed by the author, but this does not detract from the book. It is well balanced. The chapters include: the natural pool, lap pools, infinity edges, indoor pools, historical pools, among others.
