 A Delightfully Educational Book! Jan 06, 2009
The easy-to-do stonework projects and the easy-to-understand instructions in this book make it a 'must have' for gardeners who want to do their own stonework originals.

 insulting search inside feature Sep 17, 2008
The Search Inside feature for this book doesn't even show the COVERS OF THE BOOK.
This is insulting. I wouldn't even consider buying a book whose author had this philosophy.
Amazon: Why even have the Search Inside feature?

I can do that! Jan 19, 2007
If beautifying your world with stone and concrete is your goal, this book is a must.
The author did a fine job of eliciting interest in a project by showing wonderful color photos of the finished product first. Then he supplies photos and diagrams of each step while describing it in down-to-earth fashion. He adds some photos of historical works to show what can be done and how long a quality job can last.
I particularly enjoyed the descriptions of building a winding path. Mr. Bridgewater showed each layer of the walk, how to install that layer (tamper, rake, shovel, hose...) and feel that I really could create a viable path for my own home.
The only nit I have to pick was his measurements for the Japanese lantern's components. Although I could figure it out, he was inconsistent in indicating whether a dimension was length, width, or height.
Overall, I would purchase this book again.
