1. I bought this book hoping to increase my knowledge of turf grass disease identification. The book is very in depth and informative but most of the pictures are from golf courses in Japan. Since most of the disease I see is on residential properties, they dont look anything like the pictures in the book. Most of those were taken on putting greens on Japanese bent grass. Its a good book, but not if your working with tall fescue.

1. As a first year Landscape Architecture student, this book was very helpful for clearly laying out the site analysis concepts. You can't beat the graphics as well.
   
   Apparently, there is a new edition coming out, which might have been nice to wait for, but I needed it for a class. overall, a very good book.

1. I bought this book to help me with a quilt I was planning to make. At first I was disappointed and then I realized that having taken some floral arranging classes I might enjoy this book. Boy did I ever! The information is marvelous and well planned and extremely helpful. There is much you can learn about flowers and how to treat them from this book. Instead of returning it as I had originally thought I would, I find myself looking things up all the time.



2. I saw Jane on "Martha Stewart" where she was talking about her work for the Duchess of York's wedding and i was hooked. World Flowers is one of the most incredible books available on floral design. Each chapter represents a different country-- and the influences and ideas as they apply to flowers. The best part-- she gives easy tips to create these arrangements on your own. imagine-- putting single light pink roses inside individual pale pink cupcake papers, and arranging them on stacked cake plates. So delightful!

1. Featuring 114 gardens from thirteen western states, Kathleen McCormick's The Garden Lover's Guide To The West explains how gardens of these Western states ranging from the diverse climates of Alaska and California to Nevada and Wyoming, are often situated in spectacular natural settings and are the most varied of any geographic region of the United States. An experienced garden writer and certified master gardener, McCormick provides a vivid and informative guide to the best gardens of the West including those of grand estates, botanical gardens, city parks, and private gardens open and available to the general public. Profusely illustrated with full color photography, The Garden Lover's Guide To The West is an ardently recommended addition to any personal or academic collection of gardening and horticultural reference guide books.

1. This is one of an excellent series covering both North America and Europe. This particular volume is larger than the European volumes (194 pages as opposed to 144 pages in European guides), but the regional maps are very inferior and of limited use. The paper is also much thicker and therfore heavier to bring around. There are no bird's eye views of the quality one sees in the European series and while the photographs are colourful and plentiful, as we expect from this series, most are not acknowledged. There is an index but no glossary or biographies. Most of the gardens featured appear to be public parks and gardens, which is fine except that there are also first class private gardens in Canada open to the public. For example the Milner gardens in BC, created by the late Veronica Milner from the 1950s surely deserves a place in this book - I could name others. Faults notwithstanding, this is a worthwile addition to the series, all of which I possess.
