This review is from: Masonry: How to Care for Old and Historic Brick and Stone (Respectful rehabilitation) (Paperback)

This book has not been updated in many years. Although in the title it states "How to" - this is really not a step-by-step type of book. 10 minutes of glossing over it and you will be done. Keep your money, and pass over this one.
