You know what?
August 29, 2008 is when I learned about the gnome book. You have changed my life. I have learned to appreciate the independence you seek and I am practicing your easygoing way of living. Thank you and I love you.

Cute - but a bit chintzy
I bought it for my co-worker, who LOVED it. The novelty seems to be the interchangeable scenery (super cute). I rated it 4 stars because while it's cute, and well put together, and the book was informative, the "fake grass" was really a green piece of foam in a little box. They could have used real "astroturf" and it would have gotten a higher rating from me. Also, because of the foam, it's hard to stick the flowers into the "scene".

Gnood Book
My garden gnome was out of control!! I couldn't get a good nite of sleep and someone kept tinkling on my roses. As it turns out, I was mistreating my garden gnome. Without the author's tips, I would have continued to live in my own gnomish nitemare.

Thank you Marcus Mennes.
