Format:Hardcover
this is a beautiful coffee table book, great pix and short informative text, it's very inspirational visually. I recomend it to anyone who is looking to design a treehouse, although it is not a builders manual it does have some tips.

Format:Calendar
I am very happy with this calendar - the photos are inspiring! Each month has a large exterior shot of a tree house, a smaller photo (often of the interior) and a short paragraph explaining its use and the designer's vision. The dated squares are large enough to fill in information and there is already a wide range of holidays marked out.
Format:Hardcover
There is hardly any other structure that symbolizes fantasy as well as does a treehouse. It os no wonder then that kids of all ages have gravitated to building and inhabiting tree houses for generations. he "Treehouses of the World" takes you on a journey of discovery of some of the most incredible and innovative treehouses out there.
The book covers many different types of treehouses: from the more modest yet imaginative tree-platforms to some very ambitious multistory arboreal abodes. All of the tree houses seem to be made with a lot of artistry and care, and the enthusiasm of the creators for their work is almost palpable. The book is beautifully designed, and each tree house is represented with one large photograph and one or two smaller ones. For the most part the photographs speak for themselves, but there is usually a small accompanying textual explanation as well.
This book makes a great coffe-tabe book as well as a wonderful gift idea. Would warmly recommend it to anyone who has at any point enjoyed or imagined living in a tree house of their own. It is also a great source of ideas for possible tree house designs.

I received this calendar as a gift last year and liked it so much that I got myself a new one for 2012, as well as a couple extra to give as holiday gifts this year.
