A lovely book. Beautiful treehouses, beautifully photographed. A coffee table book, you should look to it for design ideas, rather than step-by-step howtos. Makes me eager to build me a treehouse of my own.
The thing that stands out in my mind after an enjoyable rainy afternoon with this book is the wide variety of treehouses featured. We are treated to a tour of every kind of treehouse from lovely professionally decorated mini-homes, to home-made flights of fancy. Refreshingly inclusive; Peter Nelson knows that wonderful ideas and inspiration can come from the humble backyard, not just the professional drafting table. Peter Nelson shows us in his other books how to safely build a treehouse; this book shows us how far dreaming can go. Is that a Spanish Galleon in the trees??? A huge nest???
As a lover of tree houses, I had been considering creating a coffee table book. A search to see if it had already been done showed me it had--and in a big way. This spectacular book, with vivid photos and detailed narrative, fed the dreamer in me. The tree houses displayed vary from simplistic to extraordinary, from a child's play house to actual tree top residences.This is strictly a coffee table book. For a how-to book, consider: Treehouses: The Art and Craft of Living Out on a Limb(Nelson); Tree Houses You Can Actually Build: A Weekend Project Book (David Stiles), or Build Your Own Treehouse: A Practical Guide (Maurice Barkley).
This is a remarkably beautiful book on treehouses of the world. The photography is exceptional and the engaging narrative is irrestible.Rarely does one find a book that "glows" from beginning to end as does this one. I bought several for gifts to like-minded friends who like to get high legally.
A great coffee table book. Amazing structures built by creative,fun-loving people (some with more money than sense). Made me want to build another tree house, and I am 76 years old.
This book was borrowed from a friend on a lark. A treehouse book for adults? What could I possibly learn? Answer: LOTS. The folks involved in developing and promoting the modern treehouse have taken the art to new heights and they lay it all out for you in this terrific, picture heavy book. Or almost. I do wish there were more photos of the construction process so one could see each project in various states of completion. Nonetheless, it's a whirlwind tour and will leave you yearning for more. Dare I hope for a DVD with future versions of the book? 360 degree views, interior and exterior would be wonderful. Yes, yes, easy to ask for the moon, but once you awaken the excited kid in me, what can you expect?
The book contains a brief introduction on the technology of tree house construction (including the GL) and an anthology of selected tree houses built around the world, together with interesting biographical info on the owners of these intriguing houses, which are captured in color photos taken at various angles, both outside and inside.
There's a serious caveat to this review. The book I got was NOT translated from Japanese. I don't read Japanese.With that said, I did get a lot from the photos and the brief English translations. This is a picture book, not designed for builders, more for lookers. It's high quality with great photography and many houses "discussed."My favorite part of the book was the photos and the many many locations and settings of the treehouses covered.
