Norman Booth wrote the book on Landscape graphics
My rating is really 4 1/2 - the only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is that I wish the book contained color plates on using markers to color landscape designs, to go along with the extensive and very useful section on using colored pencils.

This is an invaluable reference work for the landscape designer. Highly recommended - worth the price!

Very informative and usefull both for the beginer and experienced designer. It is a little high priced but worth it if you are in the design profession.
