Title: WTF...it's small and shallow
Review: Some joker here said this book was an "Excellent coffee table book." When you think of a coffee table book, you think of a big book with large pictures.This book is 6 inches...it's a combed bound landscape pocket book.Sure the pictures and the short essays that accompany them are lovely...bring a magnifying glass!However, the essays often point out the shortcomings of the book. In one case, it talks of how a garden was built to be enjoyed from multiple points of view; however, you only get one photo of the garden. In another case, a pond garden is described as being enjoyed from a boat; but the picture is from the shore.For you zen folk: the nature of the book is not in harmony with the content of the book. A pocket book can never cover the scope of these gardens.I gave it two stars because it might be good as a learning aid to those studying Japanese gardens...the landscape binding make it a pretty good flash-card system.
