Gilmer has written a clear, sometimes condescending lesson in the art of creating "golf course green" from weeds and dead patches. Each chapter ends with a summary entitled "The Least You Need to Know," and there's even a cute little cartoon blade of grass which offers "turf tips." There is occasional eco-friendly advice about the dangers of chemicals and pesticides, accompanied by perfunctory warnings such as: "Keep products from drifting into any natural waterways." Of course that is an incredibly complex proposition and consequently this is not a book for the environmental purist. Rather it's meant to assist the total novice who is worried their house is starting to become a public nuisance and the corny text is an attempt to tame the garden's mystery and envision it as an assignment that can be completed, a test that can be passed, even if you need to use Cliff's Notes. -–Emily White
