A Book for Dreamers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
As a lover of tree houses, I had been considering creating a coffee table book. A search to see if it had already been done showed me it had--and in a big way. This spectacular book, with vivid photos and detailed narrative, fed the dreamer in me. The tree houses displayed vary from simplistic to extraordinary, from a child's play house to actual tree top residences. This is strictly a coffee table book. For a how-to book, consider: Treehouses: The Art and Craft of Living Out on a Limb(Nelson); Tree Houses You Can Actually Build: A Weekend Project Book (David Stiles), or Build Your Own Treehouse: A Practical Guide (Maurice Barkley).
treehouses!

This is a very informative book with great pictures. It actually gives specs and dimentions in case you want to build your own. But if you don't, it's a beautiful book just to look at and daydream!
Treehouse fantasies

This is a remarkably beautiful book on treehouses of the world. The photography is exceptional and the engaging narrative is irrestible. Rarely does one find a book that "glows" from beginning to end as does this one. I bought several for gifts to like-minded friends who like to get high legally.
Your Private tour of the world's most interesting treehouses
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The thing that stands out in my mind after an enjoyable rainy afternoon with this book is the wide variety of treehouses featured. We are treated to a tour of every kind of treehouse from lovely professionally decorated mini-homes, to home-made flights of fancy. Refreshingly inclusive; Peter Nelson knows that wonderful ideas and inspiration can come from the humble backyard, not just the professional drafting table. Peter Nelson shows us in his other books how to safely build a treehouse; this book shows us how far dreaming can go. Is that a Spanish Galleon in the trees??? A huge nest???
Gorgeous treehouses

A lovely book. Beautiful treehouses, beautifully photographed. A coffee table book, you should look to it for design ideas, rather than step-by-step howtos. Makes me eager to build me a treehouse of my own.
