Book Description

October 1, 2009

A fabulous, full-color dream book for everyone who imagines a wondrous playroom high above their backyard.

Tree houses have come of age. The image of a few planks nailed into the branches of a tree has changed into a new generation of specially designed and built structures, suitable as a playhouse, a study, or even a guestroom. Totally inhabitable and filled with designer furniture, plumbing, and electronic wizardry, the twenty tree houses featured in this book are to be admired, dreamed about, and even built.

Featuring spectacular photography of exteriors set up among the trees, and interior shots that offer design ideas for living the “high” life, The Treehouse Book offers a fairy tale castle, a thatched cottage, a complete hotel, and much more. Each project was designed using computer technology and built using sustainable materials to create structures that only seem like fantasy. Each is cleverly fitted to the chosen trees, avoiding long-term damage to these remarkable structures.

With a section on plans and building techniques to help the competent reader design and build a fabulous tree house for him or herself, The Treehouse Book will inspire everyone to dream about what life would be like leaving all cares and worries behind and below. 176 color illustrations

4.0 out of 5 stars Photo guide to some impressive treehouses, January 6, 2010
By 
Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Treehouse Book (Hardcover)
Other than a few pages at the back of the book nominally on how to build your own treehouse (including computer graphic visualizations!) this is a picture book, beautiful photography of about two dozen most impressive treehouses. From a high-tech hideaway through castles in the trees and a few modest rooms, there's a good range of treehouse pictures. The text is sparse, giving location and a bit of a direction to what is in the pictures but not much insight into why the treehouses exist. Still, a fun book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Editting error ruins the book, November 20, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Treehouse Book (Hardcover)
I enjoy treehouses and collect books about treehouses. This book has some very nice pictures but some them can be found in other books and there really wasn't enough new content to justify its purchase. If it's the first one you buy, that won't matter to you. On page 152 in the chapter Building A Treehouse, the last sentence on the page is cut off and is not finished when the text picks up again on page 155, so you're left wondering what the author was trying to convey. I e-mailed the publisher about this and was told they would look into it, but I would be amazed if I actually got any more response from them.
