Gardevisit.com publishes the online books and articles listed below. They deal with the history and theory of garden design and landscape architecture. The eBooks have been OCR scanned and edited to make the content easily and widely accessible (eg by supplying page titles, modern spellings and hyperlinks). While paper books have obvious advantages and attractions, we believe that online books have other advantages: they are available anywhere and everywhere, they are easy to search and they have hyperlinks (eg to garden descriptions and to biographies of people mentioned in the text). We would be pleased to hear from authors who would like to use the Gardenvisit.com website as a platform for publishing or re-publishing books, booklets or articles. They are grouped as books by Tom Turner, Humphry Repton, JC Loudon, Gertrude Jekyll, Japanese Gardens and Other Books (including M.L. Gothein History of Garden Art and AJ Downing Treatise on Landscape Gardening).
