At first starting this book, it seemed to be just about constructing a backdrop for a model railroad and that all other topics were omitted. That is not the case. It covers all the basics in broad generalities. That being said, the first portion of the book is about backdrops and it is good coverage on that subject. It gives general principles and some hints for easier construction. From there is covers other subjects and goes downhill.
The information contained in here is worthwhile but is so broad as to be just an overview. It gives useful background information but is light on specifics.
Should be titled: Scenic Backdrops. December 21, 2004

This book contains very few new ideas and little or no step-by-step instruction. Dave Frary's book How to Build Realistic Model Railroad Scenery is a much more useful book with myriad tips and examples.
 Not for the unexperienced. May 26, 2004

A good book is you are looking to make a backdrop for your model railroad. If you are just looking to make realistic scenery (like hills, water, plants etc) it could be better. A full half of the book is dedicated to making backdrops, and each other topic only gets a chapter. I did like the chapter on blending scenery though. I wouldn't recommend this book for people who don't have scenery building experience.
