Summary: Dull and disappointing
Comment: Having purchased and enjoyed the 2003 'Out on the porch' calendar I was really looking forward to relishing beautiful, scenic photographs showing interesting and serene views in this book of the same name. However, I was very disappointed to leaf through this book of black and white photos, with the focus most definitely on the house and position of the porch instead of the view from the porch. I expected the photos to be colour, like the calendars, and contain relevant, well written captions from classic American fiction. The book does contain some beautifully written snippets, but again, I prefer the excerpts in the calendar. Those in the book seem to be there solely because they make reference to a porch! I have received my 2004 calendar and have already leafed through it enjoying both pictures and prose. I wish this book met my expectations and mirrored the calendar beyond featuring a porch!
Rating: 5
Summary: Absolutely charming
Comment: I read excerpts from it each time I sit on our own front porch. The photograph's beckon me to visit the places where they were taken and the literary excerpts invite me to read the books from which they were borrowed. An absolutely charming book
