The perfect startup book to unleash your creativity,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tabletop Fountains (Water Garden Handbooks) (Paperback)
Within a two weeks of reading this book, I had created my first table top water fountain and am busy snooping around thrift stores (and the attic) for 'scrap' material that can be used to create awesome table top water fountains.This is a perfect book to channel one's creativity into something one can enjoy for years to come. The book uses a "Create something out of nothing" approach, which I find extremely appealing. For beginner's, purchasing this book is money well spent.

Simpatico,
By Joseph Shields (Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tabletop Fountains (Water Garden Handbooks) (Paperback)
The projects were on this side of cheesy. I was looking for some that didn't have that 1950's Home Handyman look. But the real disapointment that there was no resource list, particularly a list of suppliers. But I find that is de rigueur with British publications (author's residence on the inside front page is England and I've noted that English books are notorious for not providing good resource lists that we Americans demand).
