I should have goten it when I could have.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Secret Gardens of the Vieux Carre: The Historic French Quarter of New Orleans (Hardcover)
I was in New Orleans recently and fell in love with the courtyard gardens that were hidden awaybeyond thick stone and brick walls. You could see these beautiful green, quiet oasis in contrast to the loud and sometimes bawdiness of the streets of the French Quarter, behind wrought iron fences, tucked away, for just a few to see and enjoy. I went to several bookstores in New Orleans, asking if there was a book on courtyard gardens of the French Quarter. I finally found one, The Secret Garden of the Vieux Carre. It was a beautiful book, with photographs that depicted the character of the gardens in a way that words could not. It was large and heavy and I did not have any room in my bags for another purchase. I thought, no problem, when I return home to California, I will find the book or order it. It is out of print! This could be worth a return trip to New Orleans in the very near future. I highly recommended this book.

This is a magical book that needs to be re-issued,

This review is from: The Secret Gardens of the Vieux Carre: The Historic French Quarter of New Orleans (Hardcover)
I bought this book some years ago and use it as a vacation-in-an-easychair escape to New Orleans. It is a treasure, written by a New Orleans insider who had access to the most wonderful gardens. I hope that it will be reprinted soon, so that I can buy it and send it to a dear friend I was telling about it.

I brought a copy of this book a few years ago and have enjoyed many hours of quiet contemplation. I am transported to the Vieux Carre in an instant. Layers upon layers of visual details are revealed to you. The secrets of this hidden world are yours to uncover over and over again.
