Good. Paperback This item shows wear from consistent use but remains in good readable condition. It may have marks on or in it, and may show other signs of previous use or shelf wear. May have minor creases or signs of wear on dust jacket. Packed with care, shipped promptly.
My biggest disappointment was when I came to the end of this book! It is truly amazing in the range of ideas and photos it presents for different types of front yard gardens. I have already marked many favorite pages of things to use in my front space. Excellent read and well laid out - it takes a type of garden, gives examples pictorially and then has a summary at the end of each section on layout, types of plants etc. to make your front yard garden a success!
