Useful, overview
The Time-Saver Standards for Landscape Architecture is large and heavy; however, it provides an overview of Landscape Architectural standards. I purchased mine as a LA student for class, which I believe to be where the book is best suited as a reference and introduction to the profession demonstrationing how plant and hardscape details are created, design and construction process of a landscape design, and description of design elements (paving, water, light, vegetation, ect). I've found the book helpful with my studying for the LARE (Landscape Architectural Registration Exam) as well.

A must have for any landscape architect
Fantastic detailed drawings with standard practice for graphic technique. Includes a wide variety of information but goes in depth with each one as the book is almost a thousand pages. Would certainly recommend.

The desk reference you must have
Good book but it takes a bit to learn how to use it. It can be overwhelming at first but just break it down into pieces and it becomes easier to read.

Great Book poor service
The product I received is great, especially because I'm a student, it has quick references for almost all of the information I need. It has great little sketches and all kinda of information I need. It took almost week longer than said April 16 -May 3 was my expected delivery date and I did not receive it until May 11. I felt that the 18 day shipping window was too broad for it to have still come late.

Nada recomendable para la zona de España
El libro en su versión americana, es muchísimo mejor, mas detallado, me sirvió durante años en el estudio de paisajismo en el que estuve trabajando, me ha decepcionado, los detalles y esquemas son peores que en el libro original y a pesar de venir en el sistema métrico y en pulgadas, al menos el original que venía en pulgadas únicamente se entendía mucho mejor. No lo recomiendo salvo que estés en la Indica, Pakistan, Buttan o similar, pero en España me pillaré mejor las Normas Tecnológicas de jardinería, son mas prácticas que este libro. ¡Qué desilusión!
