This book has many good points to recommend it, depending on your interests and skills. It would be a good reference for anyone contemplating construction of a greenhouse of one of several possible construction styles.

It goes into considerable detail on both stand alone and lean-to style enclosures, as well as some detail on hoop style models. It is best read as a sort of overview survey of construction fundamentals applicable to the described configurations.

Most of the description is in the form of text, and some with numbered paragraphs. While there are some drawings, most of the description is textual. If there is ever to be a later edition, I suggest the author replace at least some of the text description with drawings.

While it would be possible for a construction neophyte to successfully construct a greenhouse of one of the included configuration styles with nothing more than this book for a reference, I think most readers would want to augment his or her library with additional construction references. If you are tool-handy and have built various other projects, I think you will find this book somewhat elementary.

On the other hand, if you are a total newbie and have never even built a doghouse, this book will serve nicely as an introduction to construction and design skills in such structures and also includes a liberal assortment of different greenhouse styles for your reading pleasure.

In other words, for the newbie at construction, this book can serve as a nice introduction to fundamentals of different types of greenhouse styles and their construction. I think it likely that anyone seriously interested a personal construction project will augment this book with additional references that clarify details.

In other words, I can recommend this book as a sort of introductory overview to an assortment of different greenhouse styles and their construction, but if this were your sole reference, you would want to have some close at hand friends to help you with the myriad of little questions a first time constructor will encounter.

In still other words, for the "right" audience, this book will be a useful asset ... but for many others, additional help will probably be needed.

Full of useful information. I bought this book after renting in from the library. Contains many detailed plans for building your own greenhouse.

This book sparked my interest with design ideas, but does little else. I got the impression the author new very little about building anything.

Was a useless book, di not provide any current information on building a greenhouse. I would not recomend buying this book

Loved this easy to follow how to. good sources, clear and very concise in all the descriptions. It's the best!
