An absolutely gorgeous book. There is nothing flashy or overly trendy in these stunning photos; Instead, it's page after page of timeless and elegant gardens and pools.
This is a great book if you need ideas but don't want your garden/pool to look flashy or contrived. These pictures show real gardens and pools that are elegant and look like completely natural parts of their settings. I really like that there so many different types of inspiration- both casual and more formal. Also, I love that there are so many details. Usually I put a stick-it on a page or two of a book like this, but this one is covered in them.
Right now I am using it as inspiration to update an older pool, but I plan to take it out once in a while, during the chilly months, to dream my way back to summer.

I am so disappointed that I wasted my money on this book. I had hoped for the amount of money spent that it would have had practical ideas for how to landscape around an average pool. Unfortunately, it is more of a coffee table book that shows glamourous pictures of pools from international locations. The majority of the landscaping tips it does give cover extravagant and costly enhancements and not anything that someone with a normal budget could afford. For an average pool owner, with an average pool, this book does not give any practical advice whatsoever. Furthermore, in the opening pages of the book the author cautions against buying a kidney-shaped pool because she feels they are old-fashioned and reminiscent of the 50's and 60's. To me, it seemed very pretentious to say. We have a kidney-shaped pool and it's absolutely beautiful, as are other kidney-shaped pools I've seen. If you're looking for a book where you can "ooh and ahhh" over the pictures... this one is it. If you're looking for a practical book to help you landscape around your pool, please save your money.

While the book is titled The Swimming Pool, I think it is more about the "outdoor room" The "Classic" pools are still more lavish than will be helpful to the average pool owner. A good book to use for a few weeks from your public library.

Martha Baker's THE SWIMMING POOL is a coffee table book of some of the most beautiful pool around the world, but it is much more than that. Written with an easy style but always a poignant conciseness that makes every paragraph count, this book gives visual and conceptual ideas for creating the home swimming pool.

Baker is careful not to just limit the text and photographs to the water container in which the swimming takes place: Baker gives as much attention to the logistics of pool layout, landscaping, lighting, and vantage points that make the pool an integral part of the landscape and garden.

Whether the reader is actually planning the addition of a swimming pool to the home, or is more interested in viewing the myriad possibilities of adding water to the garden, this book is an elegant and satisfying resource - as well as a beautifully designed art piece! Grady Harp, June 06
