Title: Good resource, but not the tell all book
Product review: Barbara Israel's book is full of very good information regarding representative style, period, material, and vendor resource. Her knowledge is impressive, but I do think she stops short in providing as expansive an offering of ornamentation as she might have, especially for gardeners looking to embellish their gardens with something other than plant material . For the really interested reader, House of Boughs by Marjoie Henderson and Elizabeth Wilkinson is THE book. It offers information on over five centuries of garden ornament and furniture, water features, follies, and so on. Unfortunately, this book is out of print. If you can find it, buy it...you will not be sorry.
