5.0 out of 5 stars The "must have" guide for wallers., 19 Dec 2006
By Colin Brown (Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this guide on the recommendation of a Master Craftsman, when I took up walling recently. It is an excellent manual with clear illustrations showing both best practice and the pitfalls to avoid. It goes from basics right through to advanced features and covers the range of British walling styles. A brilliant book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!, 26 Jul 2008
By Capt John Rowlands "fotonix" (Anglesey, Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not only well written, well illustrated and throughly researched, it's also well-thought out as a robust ring-bound book for being dumped on the ground, covered in muck as you work.

As practical guidebooks go, it's got to be near-perfect.

1.0 out of 5 stars Way too technical for the layperson, 21 Jun 2009
Good looking book, but way too technical for me and not very easy to follow guide if you all you want to do is build a wall in your garden. OK if you're a professional but not if you're looking for an easy DIY guide.
