The Book of the Garden Pond: The Garden

192pp, two sections of black and white photographic plates, occasional line drawings in text. Red cloth-covered boards; black titles on spine. 8vo. Very lightly rubbed spine heel. Endpapers starting to tan. Internally this is a very neat, clean, bright and tight volume. Dust jacket spine sun-faded, price label on front, has very light shelf wear, chipping to edges, not price clipped. A delightful book in which the authors lean more towards treating a garden pond as an object of admiration than as a constructional project, designed to appeal to the garden lover rather than the landscape gardener.
