5.0 out of 5 stars Very concise and accurate overview of the Stonemason's art, 28 Dec 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Art of the Stonemason (Paperback)

I am in my third year of a Stonemasonry apprenticeship at Carlisle Cathedral. I enjoyed reading the book and would recommend it as a very useful resource for anyone learning the trade.

This review is from: The Art of the Stonemason (Paperback)

If you want to get your head around the stone masonary and its fundemental proccesses in a well illustrated, straight forward way, then this is the book for you. Short, easy read and beautifully laid out. All I can say is that it is definetly on for the book shelf near my drawing board.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Art of the Stonemason, 9 Jan 2011

Barbara C "Baz" (West Yorkshire. UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Art of the Stonemason (Paperback)

This book is useless for all but the totally uninitiated into masonry. It is, in effect, stonemasonry for toddlers. Don't waste your time on this - just buy the "bible" i.e. Warland's.
