Residential Landscape Architecture: Design Process for the Private Residence (6th Edition)

This book has been a valuable tool that I initially bought to help me with my college landscape design classes. I wanted more information than the materials provided in classes. My designs look more professional, cleaner, clearer and neater then my classmates. I recommend this book for its ease of use and great information. I use this book so much that it never gets put back on the bookshelf.

Then you are studying landscape design and need the scope of the why and how and all that, this is the book to have in your collection. Love it.

This rating I am leaving is for the physical book, not the quality of the contents, which are excellent throughout. The Illustrations, examples and writing are all professionally done. The physical book, however is sub-par at best. Pearson has used the cheapest, thinnest, lowest quality paper possible, which is so thin that the graphics constantly show through on the reverse of pages, which ruins the readability. My 9 year old commented upon first glance, how thin the paper is. That's saying something. The hardcover is fine, and the binding appears to be okay.

The title above are the strong points. Flaws: Some logic and organizational problems in the text and distracting typos in the sixth edition. Seems like a little more care in producing the book would easily have avoided the problems. Tech problem for first generation Kindle Fire readers.

This book is well written and an easy read with many diagrams to help fully grasp the concepts of landscape design.

I received the book in a timely manner. Although it was listed as a Used book, it appears to be new. It's in great shape and I save almost $40.

Informative
