As awesome as the first one, a little more modern perhaps. This book would be great in a waiting room or perhaps on a table designed for coffee and cakes. Unlike other large treehouse books, Nelson does his research by travelling the globe, and paying homage to the best and most creative people in the field. I have gone through every treehouse book there is, and I can say that Nelson hands down delivers the greatest diversity, the finest quality and the most intriguing pictures and stories. ...more
Some interesting works. Many of the examples were real houses, just built in trees, while many were closer to the one room structures remembered from youth.

I would like to have seen pictures of the author's staff of artists and carpenters. They did amazing work. Good photography. Abrupt ending.
Beautiful designs and some environmentally sound concepts, great photograph!
Nice photography for what it contained, but overall, a bit of a disappointment.
I love this book! I want to live in a treehouse! (I suppose anyone who knows me well would not be too surprised by that comment.) The pictures were gorgeous, and the writing interesting. This was one of my very favorite Christmas presents.

Okay, I want a big back yard with a tree big enough for a treehouse like the ones in this book! They seem like a mini-retreat with a great view.
