 useful but dated... May 09, 2000
this book is great for reference if you need basic graphics to develop into your own, the graphics file at the end is pretty comphrehensive and easy to flip to for quick ideas. however, the graphics are extremely dated, drawn with conventions that would look strange in today's landscape drawings.

 Landscape Designer Mar 05, 2001
This book is used as a text book at several univerities and Community colleges. It is a basic text that alows a student to learn to draw graphics and symbols. The excersize in the back of the book are very helpful when first learning to draft graphics. It does not address computer graphics. If you want to produce those kinds of plans it is best to take a course in computer graphics. When first learning to draw graphics one has to start somewhere. This book does a great job!

 Wow! What a great book, and working tool for the desiger. Nov 17, 1999
Loved this book. I am a self-taught landscape designer. This book brings home to me one of the reasons I am self-taught. I am one of those people that learn better when left alone with a good instruction manual. This is one of those books that gets right to the point and covers just about everything. It's packed with page after page of graphics, and just enough text to explain what is not obvious. And for 15.95, such a deal!

Grants book is a Landscape Graphics standard Feb 10, 2010
By G. Banks
"RLA, LEED AP"
I was required to utilize this book in my college study at Colorado State University. I was also fortunate to have Grant as my Professor leading me through his publication. As a professional Landscape Designer, and now LA, I can honestly say that I have attained all of my positions in Landscape Architectural firms based on these fundamental design standards and my graphic abilities. Personally, the book had it's uses as a teaching tool as well as it's inspirational uses now 15+ years later. Some people have stated that it is too basic and "dated". I may be old school when it comes to hand graphics and illustration, but I see the plan, section elevations, and perspective views represented in this book as nothing short of fundamental. Grant ingrained in his students to "be loose" (yes, Grant too was a student of Mike Lin and pulls material from him in this book as well) and that the quick thumbnail sketches that can be done on the spot are an essential means of communication. For early conceptualization, charettes and Design Development I have found these graphic standards essential. From there, I can incorporate this quick visualization into finished and approved architectural illustrations or whatever means of CAD, SketchUP, and/or Adobe CS program rounds it out to my firm and clients requirements.
At the end of the day, this has always been an important and treasured addition to my collection right next to other books by Lin, Leggit, Doyle, and Wang.
