I was impressed with the amazing photographs and the history of the cherry blossom festival. The lovely pictures reminded me of an enterprising beaver that tried to chew up some of the trees. This book will serve as a constant reminder of the beauty of spring and the fabulous cherry trees. I liked it so much I bought another copy for a friend.
This book is beautiful. It gives a great story behind the cherry blossoms and has great pictures. I gave it to my grandmother for Christmas and she loves it so much that she keeps it on her coffee table.
This is a beautifully written and photographed book. I used it as a "welcome" gift for guests who were visiting me during the Cherry Blossoms. It is affordable and a great souvenir of a very special time -- Spring in Washington DC
I really liked this book. It explained some of the history of cherry blossoms. I also liked the part in the book where they name the different types of blossoms and show pictures. It is just beautiful.
This is a very nice book. It gives a lot of detail about the Cherry Blossom Festival and has beautiful pictures.
This book is destined for Japan as a gift to a Japanese friend and avid gardener. We will be visiting during cherry blossom time so this book will be totally appropriate.
This book will give you a great look at the trees that many people wait all year to see. They're the most lovely sight and the story behind the trees are worth hearing.
