"At last, an idea book that presents every category of the pool and hot tub world with the same high standards of design, creativity and—quite frankly—beauty....The former editor of Fine Gardening magazine, White draws on her extensive knowledge of landscape and garden design to present creative ideas while addressing practical issues such as security, storage and safety.... What perhaps sets this book apart from the crowd, though, is White's deep understanding of landscape design. While the book doesn't get overly academic for the average reader, those with the background will appreciate her inclusion of classic Thomas Church designs that have stood the test of time."

"This is a great book for pool ideas. It contains ideas for just about every kind of pool and there are lots (350, at least) of photographs. This is just what I was looking for sinc we are planning to put a pool in our yard and it's a blank slate."
