This is one of the best books on tile making that I've read. It gives enough detailed information that a person can truly learn to make tiles using this book. It gives lots of tips on technique and answers most questions that might arise from a student tile maker. I checked it out from my local public library but am purchasing it for inclusion in my own collection. I'm not sure it's suitable for experienced tile makers, but for the beginner, it can't be surpassed.

This book is easy-to-follow, practical, and well-written. All the steps for making tile are clearly laid out. I think it's one of the best, if not THE best tile book out there. There are also lots of excellent art tile photos to inspire the imagination.

This book is an awesome book for beginning and mid level tile makers. It offers numerous variations on how to approach an image via mosaic tiles. Very solid info provided, well written, great picutures.

I had started to make hand made tiles before finding this book. On one hand the book confirmed a couple of things I was doing that were right, but more importantly the book provided tips and techniques that I had thought of yet. After going through the book I went back with increased confidence that I could make better tiles. Recommend this to other clay people that haven't tried making and decorating tiles.
