 Rating:  - Art of Floral ArrangingHonestly reading this book and seeing the designs I do better arrangements and I've never taken a class not impressed by the books pictures or arrangements very generic. Rating: - Nice but thinWhat little there is is very beautiful, but I somehow expected more. Pretty book though. Rating:  - Wonderful ImagesI love the flower arrangements in this book they are so classy and simple. Very easy for anyone to make. Rating: - Book was not useful at all to meThis book has pretty photographs but it was not what I was looking for. It shows designs by reknowned florists but has little in the way of substance. I don't want to make someone else's bouquets. I want to learn how to do it. I am also more interested in silk flowers, so that may be another reason that I am not a big fan. I want to learn the "Art of Flower Arranging" not how to copy someone else's designs that I don't much care for anyway. Rating:  - Instructions for 7 arrangements, most requiring DOZENS of stemsThis is a book, just as described in the other reviews, of step by step images and text for 7 arrangements. Only one of those involves fewer than a dozen (most are more than 2 dozen) stems. if you're looking for small arrangement help, there's probably a better choice (I am still looking for it). The book is pretty, though.
