Hi Geroge
I don't have book you are looking for. However I have "Japanese gardening hint" same author of book you are looking for.
one of my Japanese garden class studend had one . I will ask him if he will sell it.
I normaly do not loan book to any one but you, If you like to read book of "Japabnse gardening hint" I will send it to you. ( I lost so many books before, just loaning books)
ask to Edzard. Edzard gave me used book store on line. He can give you sugestion where you can buy used book.
You will find the book just matter of time.......... mike |

Hi Mike ,
Thank you very much for the offer of the loan of your book I appreciate your trust very much, but I must say no too the offer as the book would have a very long way to travel and I would hate it to get lost or damaged in transit once again thank you very much.
Your friend George. |

| George, thank you for asking for the book, made me curious Louis William, thank you for Barnesandnoble.com , they have the book, I didn't know them before. Yama-san , thank you to mention the other book too, I was able to find both at the library, I will enjoy and learn from it.After that I have to find a dealer in Canada, to order anything from USA is too complicated and expensive for us /to pay duty too/. Amazon.ca doesn't have it. If your student wants to sell and George doesn't want it, I would be very happy to buy it. Let me know, please. Thank you! Andrea |

Andrea, George,..
I order books quite often from www.abebooks.com, and the arrival is automatic, no duty unless it is quite a significant amount, few hundred dollars USD. If that is where the book is being sent from since you will often have a choice.

Hi All,
Thank you all so much I have ordered the book from Barnes and noble in the USA, they state it is in very good condition with a dust jacket and a box, it will take between 2to 4 weeks to deliver and the cost was $79 + $12 shipping charge, so with a bit of luck it will be a nice xmas present from my wife (yes she has bought it for me for xmas). They had 10 at Abebooks.com from $40 to $230.
Merry xmas to one and all George. |

Hi George
I am very happy for you.
Mr Katuso saito is ( arthor of the book) well respected master gardener. unlike today's landscape archetcts, he started carrer at age of 12. his father was also gardener.
unlike most of gardeners, he study and reserched history of Japanese garden very deeply. in his 30,s he went to Kyoto and work under jihei Ogawa. Mr saito was working as gardner untill early 40's . after eraly 40's , He designe Japanese garden exculsively. today's landscape archtect doing acutual gardeing only at college and start working at landcsape archetect office and never worked as gardener. most landscape archtect never worked as gardener but Mr saito. He served many organizations to educate young gardener, was leading landscape industory in Japan
We can learn lot's of things from Mr Saito's book.
Past 150 years of in Japanese garden history. Jihei Ogawa is the best master gardener, second is Mr Saito, I can not tell who is third and forth. We had so many great landscape archects and master garders. It is hard tell who is next to Mr Saito.( it is my opinion ) you will enjoy the book . |
