There is a site on the Gardens of Burle-Marx, though in Portuguese: http://www.123-rio.com/v_bras/rjgb-p1f.htm +More which lists several books--amazon lists the Eliovson book at $10 off at least. But no one has reviewed the (1991) book) it appears. They also list an out of print book: Roberto Burle Marx : The Unnatural Art of the Garden by William Howard Adams In any event, the site has the address of the gardens. The University of Virginia Library has this book--you might check around, or try interlibrary loan.
