Revue de presse :

"This impressive volume represents the work of more than 100 authors, brought together under the able editorship of Leonard J. Hopper. The successful Wiley series of Architectural Graphic Standards editions formed its basis, and it is likely that this title will also have a long run of valued versions. It should be considered an essential purchase for academic and professional libraries that support landscape architects and would also be useful for larger public libraries frequented by city planners." ( American Reference Books Annual, 2008)

"This is a thorough and comprehensive reference to the standards and practices of landscape architecture and design necessary for producing professional drawings." (Book News, February 2008)
