Review: NEEDS SERIOUS EDITING
Rating: 1 out of 5

I got this book to find some tips on how to improve my garden, yet was unable to actually read most of it due to the overwhelming errors throughout. This book has obviously not been proofread or edited at all. A simple look inside the cover will prove this fact, as will a cursory read of the author's page. Some examples include:* Failure to capitalize the pronoun "I"* Odd capitalization e.g. "Garden" in the middle of sentences* Inconsistent text color* Inconsistent bullet point symbols* Centering all text, which makes it incredibly difficult to read* Incorrect prepositions e.g. "result to"* Countable and uncountable errors e.g. "a soil"* Errors with determiners* Definite and indefinite article errors* And the list goes on!Advice focuses on such shocking facts as that plants need sun and water and the advice is vague, for example, "flowers can grow under the dappled sun." Not at all helpful.With so many amazing gardening books available, there is absolutely no need to waste your time even opening a book like this. Moreover, I will be keeping my distance from any other books published by this so-called Dr Garden / Denny Hamlin / guy in stock photo.
