5.0 out of 5 stars Look no further..the bible for those new to water gardening., 10 Aug 2001

By A Customer

Excellent detail, photos and ideas for those considering water features. Plenty of examples and clever tricks and ideas to get you on your way. The ultimate reference book, where was my copy when I built my first Koi pond ?

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, includes everything you need to know ., 5 Nov 1999

By A Customer

I initially borrowed this book from a keen pond and fish keeper. I was interested in building a pond and keeping fish and this book has answered all my questions and shown the way forward. Perhaps a little expensive but recommended anyway.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as it looks, 2 Feb 2005

By	Laurence G. Tilley (Rugby, England) - See all my reviews

I've had this book for a few years and just re-read it - the fact that I'd not looked at it again since first shelving it, tells you part of the story. It is thick, and lavishly illustrated with both diagrams and photographs as all DK books characteristically are. The first time you look at it, you'll be impressed, and the second time. But if you actually read the text all the way through, you'll be left disappointed. The point about all that illustration, is that there's actually very little text, so you get as much depth (pun unintentional) as you'd get in some smaller books. The stuff on pumps and filters is all very much out of date now, as are some of the garden design fashions illustrated. And there are a few weird bits - how to make a pond edged with railway sleepers... which involves covering the sleepers up with boards ??? Nice to look at, and possibly contains stuff that beginners will appreciate, but for anyone who's already made a pond or two, it will feel rather more like a children's picture book than a serious reference source.
