Too many books give you the (literal) nuts and bolts on how to build a deck. This is one of the few books that serve as an inspiration about what kind of deck to build. It get my coveted "Dogear" award because I had bookmarked so many pages of great photos and ideas. Combine this "inspiration" book with a "nuts and bolts" book and you'll be well on your way to having a great deck.
