About this title

Synopsis

In the current economy, prospective brides, party givers, and commercial businesspeople are looking for ways to create their own sophisticated floral arrangements rather than hire expensive third parties. Featuring a well-known designer's foolproof methods, this lush guidebook brings readers into the world of the professional with secrets, tips, and formulas for great design, including step-by-step instructions on everything from Classic English design to Exotic Tropical design. With more than 400 color photos detailing dozens of start-to-finish arrangements, the book provides a beautiful display of finished projects for readers to replicate. It also guides them through the basics of opening a flower shop or becoming a professional flower designer.

Store Description

I opened my first bookstore in Davis CA in 1985, and started selling online in 1998. I've sold about 50,000 books online, with fewer than 100 returns. I take book descriptions seriously--it's an art--and photos, if not initially available, need only to be requested. I've been away from abebooks a few years, but now am back, with vastly increased shelf space, and plan to double the inventory (while maintaining the erstwhile quality). Non-fiction is my bailiwick, the more specialized and obscure the better. So, we share an interest in specific knowledge, and I will cater to your sphere of knowing as only a 40-year book nerd can.
