What this book does for me is offer a lot of ideas with great pictures and some steps to achieving the end result.

Customer Review: I bought this book to tile my tub enclosure...a pretty popular tiling job. However, this book doesn't show you how to do it!!! That's about the only thing it didn't instruct you on, but I think its a BIG hole in the book and now I need to buy another book...."Tiling In-Complete"

Customer Review: I loaned this book to my friend [we're both rockaholics]and she's having a hard time giving it back [maybe I should buy one for her]. I have acquired several books on stonescaping, building with rock, etc., this is one of the good ones, wonderful pictures too.
Customer Review: this books is a good intro to the fundamentals of stone working. there are a lot of great pictures and illustrated diagrams. it's only drawback in my opinion is that it's all in black and white. If you don't already own it, mcraven's "stone primer" is a wonderful read and superior in production... more info
