 Very informative. Wonderful info for the novice as well as the veteran moss lover., 2008-08-25
This is a wonderfully informative book. It is the kind of book that has material both for the person who knows nothing about moss gardening and the person who is a veteran moss enthusiast. If we were more into moss and less into lawns the environment would be more healthy. We wouldn't have to pump polluting weed killers and fertilizers into our precious ground water. There is nothing more beautiful than an area of velvety moss and this book tells you how to achieve it. I'll take moss over a lawn any day. If one is not ambitious to convert and entire lawn to moss, a little shady spot will do!

 Total Bore, 2008-07-28
After all of the hype I read about this book I was very excited when purchasing it, however when it arrived I found the supposed 'beautiful photographs' to look badly out of date and the writers egotistical attitude to be very annoying.
The author is so egotistical he A. Leaves what his publisher told him to write about in his opening, in the books opening. B. Acts like he is a Messiah to moss because he moves from home to home studying and growing it for several years. Because of reasons A & B I have not been able to pickup this book again since dragging myself past 8 pages.

OCD: Moss, 2007-01-15
This is an excellent text for the "beginner to mid" moss apprentice. The photos are brilliantly gorgeous and add much excitement to the text. Schenk is clearly an enormous fan of moss as his pen scrolls simple, yet technical, information about moss throughout the text. The only qualm I have with this book is that Schenk keeps to the 2 major genus of moss. However, the photos, which might give the moss-lover ideas for a moss garden, pull the book into a text that is a must for the moss-"er."
I have a bit of an obsessive-compulsive disorder with moss. I collect it, use it to build moss sculptures, grow many different genus of it. 2 years ago, I fell in love with moss and the obsession hasn't stopped.
