2 out of 5 stars Not for Beginners   June 10, 2009
Rainmom (Florissant MO USA)
While this was an interesting book, it is not for the novice floral arranger. I expected this to be a step by step recipe for simple arrangements. It is more of a "how to take it to the next level" for seasoned designers.


4 out of 5 stars Lovely to look at   May 18, 2009
The Gardener (Long Island, NY)
This book is lovely to look at and wonderful for visual ideas with step-by-step instructions on how to create those arrangements pictured. Not an overview of styles and mechanics.


2 out of 5 stars Not too many arrangements   March 23, 2009
Ana B. Ceja (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I got this book because it was cheap and the front picture really attracted me. There weren't very many arrangements inside and some of the arrangements were too big and required too many flowers. It does have tips and techniques but I was really looking for pictures of arrangements. The condition of the book was really good.

Honestly reading this book and seeing the designs I do better arrangements and I've never taken a class not impressed by the books pictures or arrangements very generic.
