Good for Concrete and Masonry theory but not a "how to" book
This would be a good college text book for "Concrete and Masonry Theory". What I was looking for is a good text book for a "How the Heck do I pour concrete and lay bricks?" class. This weakly illustrated book with black and white photos was written by an architect and not a mason and is more suited to the general contractor or construction inspector...

Good for Concrete and Masonry theory but not a "how to" book,
By masonry neophyte in colorado (Ft. Morgan, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masonry and Concrete (Paperback)
This would be a good college text book for "Concrete and Masonry Theory". What I was looking for is a good text book for a "How the Heck do I pour concrete and lay bricks?" class. This weakly illustrated book with black and white photos was written by an architect and not a mason and is more suited to the general contractor or construction inspector. If you are looking for a hands-on "how to" book skip this one and buy a step by step well illustrated book with color photos.

Masonry & Cement Man,
By Jack "Jack" (Anaheim) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masonry and Concrete (Paperback)
While this book was written by an architect, she has a great depth of knowlege in the trade and the information is invaluable. However, To actually build a masonry house, it is necessary to have some hands on experience. An actual masonry course, would be inorder. In other words, as a reference for a masonry student, this is great, but it can not replace or modify the need to experience mixing mortar and squaring block. The author's other book on detailing masonry is also good, and is highly recommended.
