Lillian Too's Little Book of Feng Shui for the Garden Paperback – November 21, 2008

Saying this is a little book is an understatement! The size is 3 1/4" x 3 3/4" so that you get what I'm talking about. There is some good feng shui info for the garden but it does not go into much detail for each suggestion. It would be nice if it was just a little larger so that more info could be included.

Lillian Too is world renowned as one of the top Feng Shui experts of the 21st century. Indeed, Ms. Too is also a prolific Feng Shui Author. Her longer books go in depth into Feng Shui typically providing both a lot of illustration examples and well-structured books.Her "Little Book of Feng Shui for...." series are a marvelous addition to her longer more in depth books. These little books really are small, fitting into the palm of your hand, measuring about 2 inches by 3 inches. They fit into a purse or briefcase. However, she still manages to provide 118 simple clear Feng Shui tips for what you want at your garden and what to avoid while there. Each tip receives 1 mini page devoted to it, and some are accompanied by a b&w photo illustration.The font color is a dark green throughout the book, further emphasizing the green garden energy of the topic Ms. Too addresses.Many Americans might not immediately grasp the importance and contribution of the Garden to their Wealth, their Career, the Family, and relationships that is the case in Feng Shui. It is not just a list of gardening tips. The Garden provides the environment, the gathering of the energy external to your home (house or apartment) which flows in and out of your home dwelling. These elements are considered so tremendously important that the top casinos in Las Vegas incorporate Feng Shui for their exteriors as well as interiors, notice all the fountains and greenery outside of the Vegas Hotel Casino Resorts.Ms. Too provides 118 tips for your garden including the good luck of wild life and domestic animals visiting your garden and specifics of what to do and the benefit of each.

I love the info in this book on creating a garden and landscape that is in tune with feng shui. I just wish the book was a little larger - it's a small, hand-size book. That said, it's easy to carry around with one while planning outside.I'm thinking of buying another one for my favorite nursery owner. I wish more garden designers knew more about feng shui!

this seems a little to simplistic for my taste.....very little helpful info :(

EVERY ONE SHOULD READ IT! READS FAST <LEARNED A LOT <FASCINATING <IT WORKS<A WONDERFUL GIFT IDEA!PASS IT ON !IT IS AWESOME!

This should have been named 'Lillian Too's Microscopic Book of Feng Shui'. It's tiny. As in it has has about 188 hints/tips that each take up a teeny little page which means it amounts to a single short paragraph. Don't get me wrong, I love Lillian Too, and the advice is good if sparse. If this book was a 2 or 3 dollars would be fine; at almost 6 bucks it is a rip off !

GREAT BOOK
