Summary: Easy to use, well-illustrated, convenient
Review: Although not as extensive or comprehensive as some other gardening books out there (see "The Complete Book of Practical Gardening"), this book is excellent for what it sets out to do; namely, provide you with "simple steps to enhance your home and yard." At only 144 pages, it's also easy to carry around with you. I have taken it with me to the garden center many times to make sure I get the right plant(s).This book can save you a lot of money if you don't have much experience, as it shows you how to do things yourself (i.e., without hiring expensive landscapers/contractors), like installing a simple patio or a garden walkway, building a raised bed, hedging for privacy or to mask unattractive utility boxes, foundations, etc., enhancing difficult terrain, transforming slopes, designing for difficult (wet, shady, dry, etc.) areas, etc. I have had this book for over a year and it has gotten a LOT of use (and dog-earing)!
