Book Reviews of Building with Stone
Book Review: A good introduction for the would-be amateur stone mason
Summary: 4 Stars
An excellent introduction for anyone who is interested in learning more about stone work and masonry.
I enjoyed the book for the breadth of coverage, and for the anecdotal stories. It is one thing to be told safety tips and procedures, but the lesson is much more effective with a good story. I had hoped for a more comprehensive discussion of the tools used, how to use them, and how to shape the stone. However, lack of this does not detract from the usefulness of the book. The closest I have come to stonework was moving stones around for landscaping, but now if I were armed with a set of stonework tools, I would be tempted to try something more complex.
