A Portfolio of Fence & Gate Ideas (Portfolio Of...Ideas)

Rating:
Summary: Great book for fence ideas.
Review: I was looking for a book that would give me some unique, as well as traditional, fence design ideas. This book was exactly what I wanted. It contains lots of color pictures and helps you decide the purpose of your fence so you can better decide on it's design.

Rating:
Summary: Adequate if you don't expect too much
Review: This book did provide a "portfolio" of photos of fences and gates as advertised, however, it repeats many of the photos in various sections of the book. If you are grasping for ideas and need a reasonable number of photos for inspiration, this book may be adequate. If you are looking for a wealth of photos, it may not be the book for you.

Summary: Awful! Not worth the money
Review: This book was completely useless in helping plan my fence/deck. It's just a collection of photos from various industry associations and manufacturers; OK, as far as that goes, but there are very few photos - generally one per page (84 pages); that means, few ideas! To top that, the same photos appear repeatedly throughout the book - one photo shows up 4 times!! The text is sparse and very general. This is certainly not much of a portfolio - going to the library & flipping through the deck/garden magazines will serve you better. There are a whole raft of "Portolio" books put out by the same publisher - I will not buy anything else by them!
