First and Foremost, the seller is the best vendor I've ever encountered: the Johnson County Library (Kansas). Its book arrived in November. I immediately devoured it-- we are designing a backyard Zen garden and I've collected and analyzed a dozen books. As I was enjoying this, post-itting noteworthy photos and text, I came to a full stop. One of the library's less-than-upright patrons had literally ripped-off pp 49-50!
Then other matters (four national holidays, pandemic) intruded and this weekend after Groundhogs Day, I realized I still missed 49-50. I sent an email to the library, merely asking them to send me photos of the 2 missing pages if they still have the book in inventory. Yesterday (Wednesday) an unexpected package plopped on my doorstep. It was a brand-new (apparently) copy of the same book! Complete!! 49-50 in full living color!
So when you see the Johnson County Public Library as a vendor, trust them!
Now, as for the book: it's loaded with photos of well-constructed walks, walls, columns, etc. There are color sketches explaining construction. There are design tips, construction tips, smart tips. One I especially like: "Understanding Gravity". (Weightier than you'd guess!) For larger projects, an entire page will lay out a topic, e.g., Site Evaluation.
Kudos to author Pat Sagui!

You'd never know you could do this much with landscaping
What beautiful and innovative designs this book has. My husband and I wanted to landscape much of our property with stone. We actually did more than planned because we were so impressed by much of the ideas in this book. A concern of ours was the price. Much of the simpler projects you find you can do yourself (such as the small retaining wall around the garden), which saved on additional labor costs. We were guided which stones to use, and stones that could be found around the property. For the work that was a bit more extensive we called in a professional and showed him from the book what we wanted. He was very much impressed with this book himself.
