Book Reviews of Western Garden Book (Sunset Western Garden Book)
Book Review: A big failure in an otherwise great book.
Summary: 3 Stars
As always a great book in detail and content. However, the writers have tried to use a new method of "Index" that is a near total failure. They would have been better served by including the traditional Index PLUS the new Index method. This would have been the PERFECT match-up of look-up methods and styles. Instead, we have a borderline unusable book due to an extream "Index" departure from previous additions. Another 10-15 pages with a typical Index structure would have provided a truly great update to a history of helpful and enjoyable plant an dgardening books.
