It seem to be a rare and valuable book. Found one for sale on Ebay and also on Amazon for 100 EUR. Wow! Got it for 2 EUR My book has some condition issues...it has some substance on the back of dust jacket and some pages are glued together. I have feeling that it has been on some craftsman studio who has donated it.  "The Book of Gardens" The Ultimate Collection of Stylish Exteriors, A photographic Collection, Volume I by Siobhan Buchanan-Johnsto...
