Review: Zeal costs money. I have been searching for all of the available (and unavailable) books on landscape lighting. The word "landscape" in this book's title triggered my purchase. This is a book about structure lighting: the commercial exterior lighting of building and large public spaces. Indeed, there are a few small scale projects discussed but these are commercial also (a flagpole/sculpture application and "electric sheep" site-specific art. My focus is narrow; my niche is small. I am seeking books about residential low voltage outdoor ("landscape") lighting. This book, like the "Outdoor Lighting Pattern Book" and others of its ilk, is about big time architectural lighting. When I make purchasing errors like this I place them with my architect wife's reference books. I'm not dissing the book; it is quite interesting and offers a close look at what was the current state-of-the-art circa 1993. Books like this have a shorter half-life than the latest computer.
