This book has many good points to recommend it, depending on your interests and skills. It would be a good reference for anyone contemplating construction of a greenhouse of one of several possible construction styles.It goes into considerable detail on both stand alone and lean-to style enclosures, as well as some detail on hoop style models. It is best read as a sort of overview survey of construction fundamentals applicable to the described configurations.Most of the description is in the form of text, and some with numbered paragraphs. While there are some drawings, most of the description is textual. If there is ever to be a later edition, I suggest the author replace at least some of the text description with drawings.While it would be possible for a construction neophyte to successfully construct a greenhouse of one of the included configuration styles with nothing more than this book for a reference, I think most readers would want to augment his or her library with additional construction references. If you are tool-handy and have built various other projects, I think you will find this book somewhat elementary.On the other hand, if you are a total newbie and have never even built a doghouse, this book will serve nicely as an introduction to construction and design skills in such structures and also includes a liberal assortment of different greenhouse styles for your reading pleasure.In other words, for the newbie at construction, this book can serve as a nice introduction to fundamentals of different types of greenhouse styles and their construction. I think it likely that anyone seriously interested a personal construction project will augment this book with additional references that clarify details.
