2010 original publication
I received this excerpt copy of this digital book which contained about 40 pages from NetGalley and Herbert Press/Ivy Press in exchange for an unbiased review.
No need to be concerned about spoilers as I only received 40 pages to review.
When most people stroll through a garden it’s doubtful that much thought is given to the magnificent view. Rather than provide a detailed explanation of the historical and influential effects of gardens through the years, this is a more user friendly guide.
The excerpt of the book I received started with an introduction to types and styles of gardens before skipping to the physical features and structures. The use of varied materials for walls, seating and decorative gates help to define the particular garden. It is difficult to review a book without the context of the complete book. The selection I received was interesting and made me want to put it in context with the beginning of the book.
Update: The publisher provided me with the completed version of this book. The book in its entirety is facinating and well illustrated. It is a must read for those who love garden structure and architecture involved in the magnificent displays we see.
