Much More Than a Picture Book....... September 26, 2005
I wasn't expecting all the wonderful how-to directions so I can create my own Japanese Stone Garden plus all the great photographs. It's going to be a fun winter project and feel like I will succeed with the great tips in this book.

Benz does an incredible job of presenting suiseki in a lovely format with loads of pictures of beautiful suiseki. He also provides the aesthetic and practical levels of the ancient art; right down to the tools need and the frame of mind needed to explore this art. Whether you are a beginner or long time collector, you will find this book a worthy addition to your library. I read the book today and I'm on my way out to the mountains to find a new stone tomorrow.
