    • Beautiful Basic Beginner's book to aquascaping
You should read the negative reviews; they are true, and I'm sure the disappointed people who wrote them must be quite experienced and advanced in the hobby. There are several typos in the book and yes, the layout could have been much better, but for beautiful pictures on glossy paper and good basic information, the book is worth the $20-25 charged. I am writing this from the perspective of someone diligently pursuing the hobby for 15 months and doing so on a limited budget, studying everything I can get my hands on, learning as much as I can for the next few years, with the reward being a 150 gallon custom planted tank to set up and maintain in my retirement years. It reads as if George is giving a beginner workshop on aquascaping with the ending showing step by step setting up of several <20 gallon tanks. As an example, I am soon to start using CO2 and will be able to use the chapter in this book for knowing what to buy and getting started. Is it exhaustive on the subject? No, but it will get me started. The plant list at the back is excellent and greatly appreciated. Regarding the person who reviewed the plant list negatively, I am sure she is already experienced with the different plants, and there are more pictures than just plants in a sealed container. I, on the other hand, find it immensely helpful to have a list of easy to grow plants, medium effort, and advanced difficult plants to grow, with pictures, all in one place. I know I will use that as a reference many times in the future, as I have been learning the hard and expensive way by buying and killing in my low tech tanks. There is a distinct impression that George is "selling" specific brands in the book. However, if one were sitting down and having a chat with him and one asked what he used, he would tell you, "I use "x"." "That's really expensive." "Yes, worth it, but you can also use "y" brand to get started, moving into "x" when you're ready." For this reason I am not offended at the feeling of sponsorship. I don't know that the book will rank for all times as THE book to buy on aquascaping, but I am not disappointed to have purchased it and will use it many times as a reference. ... show more

    • Beautiful book
I like this book a lot and I got it before I started my first scape. I'd say the internet is more helpful when seriously learning, but this book was a great read and is a beautiful decoration that guests love to flip through. I still flip through it sometimes to skim the content again and look at the pictures and I got this in March. I recommend this product. ... show more
