5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on decorative concrete, October 25, 2005

Dottie Natal (Lompoc, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Decorative Concrete (Sunset) (Paperback)

I've purchased other books on decorative concrete, but this is the first one that I think is worth what I paid! It has excellent discussions of different techniques and materials, something that other books lacked. And, since they are not promoting some specific product, they provide information about products that are not as expensive as some of the systems that are being sold. The pictures are not as detailed as would be helpful on some pages, but that is a minor issue. There are enough step by step instructions to make it possible to do projects from the book as you learn the techniques. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, August 27, 2005

G. Ferguson (Austin) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Decorative Concrete (Sunset) (Paperback)

I have a business doing stained and scored concrete, so I am familiar with the field. This book is a very good overview, and has a lot of neat techniques, including some I had not thought of. I would highly recommend it, with one caveat: If you are planning to do something important, like stain a floor or make countertops for a restaurant, then read some of the more in-depth books. Still, it it an excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Decorative Concrete "How To" Book Out There !, March 10, 2006

Wendi Brown (Scottsdale, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Decorative Concrete (Sunset) (Paperback)

This author really helps those who want to "Do It Yourself" or gives outstanding examples and ideas. We used this as a resourse
guide and by trial and error ( as the book states ) have successfully updated our exterior, interior flooring, kitchen/bath
countertops and sinks to model home quality for pennies on the dollar.
