Great book for budding designers

Hi All,

I have just found a treasure on my best friend's bookshelf. It belongs to her partner who has been a landscape designer for years. The title is "Landscape Graphics - From concept sketch to presentation rendering" by Grant W. Reid (ASLA).

If you are interested in obtaining a copy, as I have just done (on order in the post!) you can find it on this great website Biblioz which is the best place to look for out of print books or hard to find items. The postage is expensive as many of the items have to come from OS.
