I have done ceramic tiling in our home off and on for forty years. Bathrooms, kitchen backsplash, Shower stalls, etc. but I am about to cover 300 sq. ft. of floor with 14 inch square tile which is quite different from my other projects. I needed a book to boost my skills in this area and after looking at several, I felt that the Stanley book offered the most detailed practical help with a plethora of photos. On receiving and reading it I was not dissapointed. I recomment this book to beginners and semi-skilled DYIs like me. It offers the basics and some very useful tips.

I am a beginner and after looking at MANY books on tiling, this is the one I decided on. It is a wonderful book that explains everything from start to finish. There are over 800 pictures, so for those of us who like to see what we are about to attempt, this book is great.

If you want to know anything about tiling, get this book. I'm a novice and this book takes you through step by step and talks about numerous tile installations on different surfaces. Great job. It discusses why you might use a certain tile over another and it tells you what to look for when installing your project. I can't say enough about this book. And the pictures were well done also.
