Book Reviews of Working with Tile (Taunton's Build Like a Pro)
Book Review: not a beginner's DIY resource
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book hoping for a detailed how-to before tiling my kitchen and bathroom. Unfortunately, it mostly follows the authors' deluxe slate floor installation (over a "ditra" mat that I can't find locally). Beginner questions (like examples of simple layouts, how to choose from the many varieties of thinset available, how to tell if the thinset and grout are the right consistency -- and what you can do if they aren't -- how to handle tiling around tubs, toilets and other fixtures) just aren't addressed. Lots of pretty pictures, which is why I picked it up, I guess.
