"A good book on landscape sketch and graphic"
This book covers almost every aspect of landscape sketch and graphic. It is good for you if you want to learn hand sketch, it is also good for you if you want to create nice CAD drawings. Many of the tree /shrub symbols in both plan views and elevation views are nicely done, they can inspire you to create nice computer blocks for trees and shrubs for plans and sections and elevations.

It covers graphic language and design process, basic drafting, lettering (nowadays almost everyone can do nice hand lettering fonts with computer, but this book is still good for assisting you to select lettering fonts or create your custom fonts in computer), freehand drawings and conceptual diagrams, presentation plans, section-elevations, graphic symbols files for elevations and perspectives.

All the sketches, plans, sections, elevations and perspectives are nicely done. They can be good samples for landscape architecture students, garden design students, architects, landscape architects, urban planners, and seasoned designers.





"Landscape Graphics"
For beginning drawers in the landscape architecture field, this is a great reference book. Lots of graphics from which one can begin. It's hard to beat the price too.

"I used this for class..."
...and quite frankly it's unbelievably dry and boring. the material looks like it should be useful, and i should be interested in reading it, but the monochromatic look of the book's contents are a direct contrast to the exciting, varied and colorful world of landscape design. i'm sure it wasn't a conscious effort on the part of the author to suck all of the life out of landscape design, but it sure feels like it.
PS- the graphics do indeed look dated. i looked for and illustration credit by Mike Brady, and was surprised to not find it.

"A great book overall"
I am taking a class in Graphics for Designers and this book is a great benefit to have around. They have great pictures, great examples, and displayes of a wide varity of graphics to adapt into projects and to make your own. Very preofessional instructions, even though they do go a bit too in depth at times. Really great book and I recommend it to anyone interested in becoming a Landscape Architect or starting to do some landscape design.

"Very good resource"
As others have said, this is a great reference book for landscape graphics. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it's entirely black and white and offers no guidance on color rendering, which is a vital part of the design process.
