Books: The Contemporary Garden

A wide, considered survey of contemporary garden design, from urban courtyards to country estates, with the kind of photography that makes a wet afternoon feel like a trip. Published by Phaidon, in their familiar cloth-bound format. A book to live on a low table, with the cover up rather than down. The kind that opens easily mid-sentence and closes the same way. Belongs with books and artful living, on the coffee table, the bedside, or wrapped in tissue. Hardcover. Published by Phaidon.
