网友对Bricklaying的评论

The author begins with "this is how you put mortar on a brick" and then explodes into how to build the Taj Mahal. His enthusiasm for his subject is obvious. If you want to get value out of this book, read a little, then put it down to go lay some brick, and later come back to read more. If you want o know how to lay brick, you will find directions here, but you must have laid brick.

A more advanced book perhaps directed at owner/ builder or apprentice as many calculations etc shown. Overall a great book. Beginner probably better to start off with brickwork and bricklaying. Would be better with colour pics. A great book though.

This is not a DIY book, but is an excellent choice for anyone who sees and enjoys bricklaying as an art.
There are some great projects included, as well as tips and information to increase any skill level.
Well worth the price.

I have not yet put it to the test but have read some of it, and it appears to be a good reference. However, some of the terms used are foreign to me, being American. It also appears to be geared more to the pro than beginner. I wish it had more basic information.

As a mason I learned a lot from this book. It is well illustrated and easy to read, and some of his tips of the trade so to speak are invaluable. Of all the bricklaying books I have bought over the years this is my personal favorite.

It is not necessarily a DIY book FWIW, but I think it would be helpful to some of you out there who have learned some of the trowel skills necessary for laying block and brick.
