This is a 64 page book with photos. There step-by-step instructions (with photos for each step) for some of the ideas depicted. The photos of the results are very pretty, but not something like a beginner like me could achieve. There are a couple of photos of sample planted aquariums - I have a planted aquarium, but it's not something you would see out of a magazine or even an aquascaping contest (the photos in the book are)!

The instructions are very general. For example for one item you are told to paint with a "suitable preservative". Nor does the book go into much detail about the plants used, except their names, and that they will have to be trimmed or repotted often. I guess this is a good idea book if you you know more on your own about plants, the types of tools and materials you will be using.
