Review:

Trained as an artist, Russell Page brought an architectural sense and a keen eye for style to vast garden projects for wealthy and influential clients in Europe and the United States. In the course of his career (which spanned most of the 20th century) he designed more gardens than anyone in history. With more than 250 stunning, exquisite color photographs covering practically every page, The Gardens of Russell Page is a tremendous resource for both fans of his work and those looking for beautiful and sound landscape ideas. -- Midwest Book Review
