Planning Profession and Landscape Architecture 14 years, 6 months agoHello!

LARE Multiple Choice Discussion 14 years, 9 months agoGreat, thanks for the help!
I think I’m going to buy the LaGro book to start with and try to get the other ones through interlibrary loan (which never even occurred to me at first).
I would eventually like to buy all of them, but that’s almost $600 for all the books (used), exam fee, and study guides, so that’ll have to wait. - Load More
