Not only a nice layout

I was concerned cause it's cheap but it's great. The range is good, I live on a 2nd floor apt and I have one on the front door and one by the mail box on the 1st floor and it works great. The volume control is w plus too.

I like the layout of the book. Very well laid out with excellent examples. I'm not a newbie to writing proposals but I learned a lot from reading this. I'm sorry I didn't purchase it when it came out.

I bought this journal specifically to record my random home decorating ideas, and I'm very happy with it, even though the binding on my copy is a little bit loose.  The description doesn't really do the book justice; it's much nicer than it looks.  First of all, there are lined pages, blank pages, and graph-lined pages, which would come in handy if you want to draw a room to scale. The 3 kinds of pages are interspersed throughout the whole book, rather than in specific sections.  Each page has a lavender-colored illustration on the border, and there is a big pocket on the inside back cover to hold photos or whatever you want.  There is also a ribbon bookmark, and an elastic band closure on the cover.  The design is well thought out and tastefully executed, and it would make a great little housewarming or hostess gift.

It was a little disconcerting to see that the maximum-size threshold the authors set for the cabins covered in this book was actually a fair deal larger than the home I live in full-time now. But nevertheless, I was able to enjoy this look at intriguing and often innovative designs for getaway living. The color photos are frequently beautiful, and the authors also helpfully include layout designs for the cabins' interiors as well as illustrations of how the cabins fit onto the owners' land. The text tells the stories of the individual cabins and their owners, and also has useful insights on the process of planning and building these kinds of structures.
People who have, or plan to have, getaway retreats of their own will probably find much inspiration, as well as many good ideas, here. And even those of us who don't have a cabin of our own, now or in the foreseeable future, can always imagine ourselves in one of these great homes and locales (I dibs the one on page 160).

The best text for designing with cascading style sheets.

This is a lovely book.  I have a question or two about the text, but the pictures are very nice.  I also like the colored examples of each page.  I will use different colors, but it's nice to see another's ideas.  Buy this book and enjoy.

Lots of photos and the layout is very understandable. I appreciate the way it is presented in a lesson format.

I am a certified permaculture designer with hundreds of acres of farm and forest of my own. I also have hundreds of books related to this topic.

My initial impression of this book is that it is very thoughtfully laid out and has strong visuals. I really appreciate the formatting and how he handles mapping and holistic planning. Many of the permaculture books that I have do not address profitability, or at least not well and this is a worthy addition for that at the very least.

Understand that you are not getting the depth of folks like Mollison or Whitehead, but that can be a plus for many.

I would recommend this to folks just getting started in permaculture, as well as those looking to transition from homestead level food production to running a profitable permaculture market garden.

This is a really nice Planner.  Outside is vinyl and it's more of a turquoise than the blue that is shown.  Inside is everything you could really need in a decent planner.  Sections are broken down in months with a calendar part with a date part where you can write notes down about the particulars of the day.  This would be a good planner for teachers which my eldest daughter has already claimed this since she is just starting out her teaching career.  After the monthly sections is a contacts section with plenty of room to write down pertainent information.  After the contacts sections is a seperate section for notes with more than enough pages to keep your notes in one place for some time.  Following all this is a page for an Event Calendear and a page with the Holiday list for 2014-2017.  Quite a number of holidays listed too. Pages have a peacock feather pattern on them that is appealing and not over whelming.  Over all I really find this to be the nicest planner I've seen in some time and I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this book. I read a lot of design books and magazines each month and this one set a different tone.  I think it's a fantastic resource for the home owner who wants to transform their space.  The thoughtful layout out helps walk you through the basics of starting a project; planning your space, understanding the architecture of the room, room-by-room examples and ideas, and attention to details.  It's filled with creative ideas that make you re-think what you already own, shop the high end stores and plan a trip to the flea market and even look to your own garden for ideas.  The directory in the back of the book gives pages of design resources and products to help guide your project and the beautiful photography and inspirational quotes throughout the book were a nice treat.

The examples aren't only helpful to visualize the point, but they are giving me ideas on how to implement some of these things in my own code, for instance displaying linking info when hovering over a link. Very well thought out. This book is crammed with useful and pertinent info. No editorial comments that add to the heft (but not the content). For getting the  basics - and also as a handy reference - this hits the spot. It's also not so technical that it's either boring or frustrating to read.

I have to say that I'm very impressed with this Boston themed travel guide. The layout is very nice and the colors used within pop off of the page, making this a very eye pleasing guide. It's small enough to fit in your back pocket and all the entries on the various sights of Boston are detailed just enough to give you a good idea of what to expect from them. Locations are specified cleanly and succinctly and it even comes included with a fold out map that you don't need to detach from the book if you don't want to. You can open it right up and fold it back neatly into place once you're done. The pictures are hi-res (there's a picture of a cheeseburger on p. 117 that should have been a scratch and sniff pic, it looks so good) and above all, the book manages to pack a ton of information into a modestly sized guide. If you're going to Boston and doing the tourist thing or maybe even a business trip, this book comes fully recommended.

It has a lot of examples and explanations of grid and grid-related layouts.
A good reference guide for designers, whether they are students ore professionals.

It has an interesting layout that is organized into useful sections. I'm hoping to get a better handle on bloom times. This may help. We shall see.
