2.0 out of 5 stars Modern Masonry, January 3, 2008

By	J. Jaworski "coastal remodeling" (groveland ma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Modern Masonry: Brick, Block, Stone (Job Practice Manual) (Paperback)

Be aware this book is "job practice manual" & not an actual text book. It is designed for actual workshop practices and does not get into actual howto, specifications, and code rules.
