Product Description

Bricks were introduced to Britain by the Romans and reintroduced by Flemish craftsmen in the middle ages. Until the early nineteenth century they were made in numerous small brickyards supplying local needs, but eventually increasing demand led to the invention of improved brickmaking machines and kilns. This book gives an insight into the surprising variety of bricks, as well as a brief history of brickmaking, descriptions of hand and machine moulding, drying, the use of kilns and firing. Despite competition from newer materials, brick still holds its own as a facing material and traditional methods still survive in the smaller yards.

disappointed 11 Mar 2010

By Thomas P. Mcauliffe - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase

I am disappointed with this book, not so much for its cost but because the content is fine if you live in Europe, and Great Britain,but is essentially worthless information if you live in North America.The cost of the booklet,roughly 30 pages,isn't bad but to have it shipped brings the cost to way more than its worth.The cover of the book is deceiving, yes, nice picture, but thats about all I can say for this booklet.
