5.0 out of 5 stars
great book, May 12, 2011
This review is from: Getting Started with Mortared Stonework: Walls, Patios, Fireplaces, Columns & More (Hardcover)
I just finished this engaging book and learned a lot by reading it. The author's straightforward, conversational style and "you-can-do-it" attitude towards the subject really make you want to give it a try. The book is very well organized and laid out, with sections on tools & equipment, types of stone, technique, etc. all preceding the various projects, each of which are thoroughly explained step-by-step. The illustrations and photo's are all excellent and complement the text very well. I don't have any illusions about this book making me into a master stonemason, but it certainly has given me the confidence to start my first project.

This review is from: Getting Started with Mortared Stonework: Walls, Patios, Fireplaces, Columns & More (Hardcover)
This book gets straight to the point on stone and its construction. There are many different projects featured with full color pictures. This book is great for the weekend mason who wants to learn how to build with stone. A picture of my work was featured in this book. I recommend this book for all!
