Summary: A cut above the rest
Review: Don't read this book unless you're ready to become a fountain fanatic. Reading the book changed me from just wanting to make a simple fountain for decoration to being an avid fountaineer, constantly evaluating everyday objects for their fountain-enhancing potential. It has really brought out my creative side. This book tells you EVERYTHING you need to know to make your own fountain, from practical advice about appropriate materials to use to how to drill holes in rocks. Lots of pictures guide you along the way. An added bonus in the book is all the fountain historical and symbolism information and Feng Shui cures. If you enjoy creating things, you'll love this book.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I ordered this book primarily based on a glowing review that appeared here. Unfortunately this book did not live up to my expectations. The book is small and therefore requires all of its "300" photos to be slightly larger than a commemorative stamp (unfortunately lacking the vibrant colors of our stamps as the photos are all black and white). The small photos often lack clarity and are printed on paper not best suited for photo reproduction. The appendix which promises to direct readers to various suppliers tends to tout the author's own company unless you happen to be a wholesaler and then there are other sources which might be of help. The first quarter or so of the book delves into psycho bable about the healing, soothing potential of fountains and "room energy" which most people wanting to learn about construction don't really need to know; they already know they like fountains and find them soothing. This book should be rewritten with a larger format and clearer pictures and leave the psychology for the therapist's couch. I returned this book for a refund.

Summary: A cut above the rest
Review: I thought the sections about symbolism and feng shui, plus historical info and photos put this book on a level beyond the books that deal only with the how-to instructions. Not only a "how-to" it's a "why-to" create a fountain. Those of us who are interested in environmental energy will find a wealth of information here.

I also appreciated the author's spiritual touch in her foreword, introduction and in chapter 3 which were quite inspiring and uplifting to me. I always refer that book to friends who develop a desire to learn about building indoors water fountains.

Summary: The best on the subject of Fountains
Review: The book (Create Your Indoor Fountain) will take you step by step through the process of building your own tabletop fountain from start to finish. You will find many examples in this book, along with the history of the indoor fountain garden. In all the years that I have been around the fountain business, this 178 page book is without a doubt the BEST on the subject of fountains.

Summary: Discover the Thrill of Crafting Indoor Fountains!
Review: They're fun, they're easy, they're infinitely varied. Best of all they're inexpensive! Pump manufacturers love the fountain building trend and are gearing up for 20% market penetration by 2004. Whether beginner or expert, you'll find Create Your Indoor Fountain: Expressions of the Self an outstanding resource for fountain crafts. Writes fountain builder Rick Wanomae, "Just started this as a new and relaxing hobby! I will give fountains as gifts as the sound of water relaxes and soothes the spirit. What a great surprise your site is!"
• Do you work with ceramic or polymer clay? Follow the Blue Mountain Fountain design to craft a unique display of water flowing down tall switch backs into a pool, separated from the planted foreground, all in one bowl!
• Does stained glass excite you? The Slumped Glass tutorial takes you step by step in styling an unusual fountain. Pick your glass size, shape and color and you're on your way!
• Are shells your fancy? Set up the versatile abalone in two or three tiers of water flowing from the side holes in this easy project. Vexing problems like how to hide the cord, regulate the water sound, and keep the fountain clean dissolve in this clear presentation. Over 300 illustrations will stimulate your imagination; five pages of resources make supplies easy to find. "The expressive mask fountain is one of my favorites," says fountain crafter Paris Mannion whose book has launched thousands of table top fountains around the world. She's appeared on Discovery Channel's Interior Motives with Christopher Lowell and has been interviewed in several newspapers. The Holiday season is perfect for giving indoor fountains.
