an idea book, not a how-to,
By
This review is from: IDEAS FOR GREAT BACKYARD COTTAGES (Paperback)
Photos of lots of neat backyard "cottages" (actually small backyard buildings of all kinds -- sheds, screen rooms, guest rooms, follies, etc). Includes a short discussion of materials and techniques at the end, but the photos are the real value here. Fun and inspiring.

Beware: Ideas only--No Plans!,
By L. M. MACLEAN "If too many books were a crime..." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: IDEAS FOR GREAT BACKYARD COTTAGES (Paperback)
I should have known better from the title that this was just a book of photos. However, the photos are gorgeous and I often flip through it when I'm looking for something pretty to have a cup of tea with or to look at before I go to sleep. The houses are all kinds, all materials, and all inspiring. They try to sell you plans at the end.

Another Sunset "fluff" piece,
By Ernest Bullock - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: IDEAS FOR GREAT BACKYARD COTTAGES (Paperback)
Actually, I liked this book. It has fantastic color photos of various cottages, cabanas, potting sheds, sleeping/dining sheds, greenhouses, trellises, etc.. If you are just skimming for visual ideas for what to build in somebody's back yard or vacation property, this book is "tops".Unfortunately there were no sketches or plans accompanying the pictures. So the reader is left unsure of how to reproduce what he sees. Also, the plans available for sale in the rear of the book are fine as far as they go -- but they don't have anything available if you want a cabana, trellis, or outdoor kitchen. |
