New Treehouses of the World Hardcover – May 1, 2009

Quite an extraordinary view into Swiss Family Robinson type "homes." Some are merely for the kids, while others seem to be actual second homes. Photos leave the viewer wanting more! Purchased the book for merely personal reasons--not to build a treehouse, but as inspiration for a post-graduate class in ceramics. Saw the first book by this author, however I wanted MORE! And this is more, as I'm sure there will be others in the future. Good reference, good inspiration, good just to enjoy.

Beautiful Art in the Trees ! Not only is the photography in this book extraordinary, but his descriptions of the construction techniques are thorough and articulate. This is not JUST a "coffee table" book, but a great read. Pete Nelson is a true "artist". His love and knowledge of the trees comes through in every page. A person does not have to love treehouses to appreciate this wonderful book that demonstrates how we can live in harmony with nature. I hope his work continues for many years to come !!!!! I've become a genuine fan. Pete Nelson, I thank you for sharing your work with all of us!

FUN READ GREAT PHOTOS

I purchased this for my dad, who loves woodworking, this book is absolutely beautiful and inspiring, great for any DIY-er to gather inspiration, any Tree house lover, or, just anyone who appreciates beautiful things. I highly recommend, makes a great Father's Day, Holiday or birthday gift!

I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend (we both love treehouses), and we spent quite a bit of time looking through it and getting lost in the gorgeous photos. The book's binding and paper quality is high. The text also looks very informative, though I haven't really had the chance to read it yet.

I had been looking at treehouses on the net for quite a while before i bought this book so I was keen to see if there would be any surprises. There were. The examples shown are beautiful. I particularly value the (too) brief technical section, but wish there was more in this book. However, reading this book in conjunction with the less inspiring Home Tree Home is helpful. I do not regret buying this book but I would have liked more technical information in the texts about the houses. Because I am thirsty for technical info, i am annoyed by image captions describing pretty much what I can see for myself. But it is such a beautiful book and for anyone considering building a treehouse, I would strongly recommend it.

Great book. I bought the two treehouse books together and love them both. Like many, I dreamed as a kid in the 60s of having a cool treehouse. My parents bought a treehouse book, but it was composed of fanciful drawings. These treehouses are reality.

This is a beautiful and inspirational book. The pictures are stunning and the text informative. A perfect coffee table book, guests get very excited about it ! I am so taken with the idea now that I am going on a tree-house vacation in Norway.
