This is a great book with lots of techniques and ideas. I would definitely recommend for anybody interested in learning how to do veneering and inlays.

the book i bought was in good conditions: little of sun-damaged and less flawed. i did not think that i could buy this book in such a good condition in this low price. i am very satisfied.

Was happy item arrived on time. But was disappointed with how the book looked. It was coming apart at the seams on the inside of the book. It never said it had problems with the spian of the book

Review of the Reviews and a cri de coeur!

The same set of reviews appears under both editions of An Illustrated Guide to Pruning by Edward F. Gilman. The problem is that the 3rd Edition (2011, 496 pages) seems to have been a major rewrite and redesign of the 2nd Edition (2001, 352 pages).

I assume the reviews dated May 9, 2003 through March 5, 2011 refer to the 2nd Edition and those from Nov 8, 2011 through February 23, 2015 refer to the 3rd Edition. In true then both editions sound great. And the cost is about the same as a USED copy of the 2nd Edition in "Used - Very Good" condition costs $89.26 versus a NEW copy of the 3rd Edition costs $88.28.

So, which one should I buy? Has anyone used both? Is anyone willing to write a review that compares the two editions?

And a special request to the only reviewer who discussed a book of only 176 pages: Does your review refer to the 1st Edition of this book?

Thanks to all.

Maybe people who like to prune don't like to review books.

One reviewer clearly identified

 the 2nd Edition does not have the Look Inside feature.

Satisfied for the price and for my intended limited use.
i do not have time to write reviews for the books I ordered and received - - it defeats the purpose for ordering from Amazon to save time. If I do not respond, assume that the books I received were in satisfactory condition and received in the time frame expected. Sorry but my time is limited.

I received this as a gift, and while there are plenty of reviews about the content I'm posting about the build quality.

The first book I received, the paper glued to the inside cover had various bubbles as if the binding had been bent and it never dried properly. When opening to various pages in the book you could see the threads used in the binding. I was not happy, so I contact Amazon and they sent a replacement right away.

The second book had some similar issues. The inside cover was at least glued together properly and laid flat. However when opening the book you could still see some of the threading. This second book had less visible threads, but there are still some where there shouldn't be.

I'd also like to point out that the photo of the book is fairly misleading. The bottom portion where you see the Diablo 3 title and claw mark logo is actually a small paper sleeve that goes on the book. This can be removed to see the entire front cover, or left on.

The art work, and writing are great. I haven't read to much into it yet however.

Book arrival was slow, however not terrible, I was just excited to recieve it. Book is like brand new, I don't see anything wrong with it. And I really like the book, I am learning lots of useful information and the photography is beautiful. I would recommend this company and book to another customer.

The book on the inside is in great condition. The outside not so much. The hardcover is ripped on one of the sides but the most important thing is that no pages were ripped or anything! Very happy!

The description from the seller mentioned small fraying on the lower corner of the cover of the book. She must have a good microscope - I could barely see any flaws on or in this book. To even have mentioned the fraying shows a very high degree of honesty. I would be happy to have further business with this seller.

Loved the book. Mine came with the faux mosaic kit TM by Ranger.  I've run out of the materials and want to order more.  Anyone know where to find them?

For the record, I do like the content of the book, which includes tones of things that we should learn for Architecture or Interior Design. What I do not satisfy is the quality of the book. This is the first time I bought used item, I'm not sure what "good condition" should be look like ,but I was not so happy when I got the book and saw the cover. The previous owner might dropped the book for many times because many parts of the hardcover are wounded and cocked up. Contrarily, the inner pages are in a very good condition. I needed to get this book in a hurry and I would have to wait for a month if I want to get a new book so I didn't return it.
