5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source of ideas for fireplace mantels, Dec 13 2008

This review is from: Fireplace and Mantel Ideas: Over 100 Classic Fireplace Mantel Designs (Paperback)

This is the best book you will find if you are looking for inspiration - not instructions on how to build a fireplace!! This book provides a huge array of mantel ideas and gives the reader fabulous ideas. In fact this would be an excellent resource for anyone building a home or for a designer with clients who just don't know what style of mantle or fireplace they are looking for. A gem in my opinion I give it a five star rating!

This review is from: Fireplace and Mantel Ideas: Over 100 Classic Fireplace Mantel Designs (Paperback)

I purchased this book thinking it might help me build a mantel shelf and found it to be worthless. This book is an lengthy advertisement to try to sell mantels. I don't recommend it as one can purchase a magazine to view pretty pictures of mantels.

This review is from: Fireplace and Mantel Ideas: Over 100 Classic Fireplace Mantel Designs (Paperback)

I'm an ole timey (senior citizen) fireplace builder for 51 years. This book was fun for me and is choice for learning secrets about a useful fireplace. Hey author, I like your classy and easy mantels and build some but I can't find any book anywhere that has a bunch of more complicated mantel plans that I can sharpen my beever teeth on. Help me anyone!! Good job on this book but please write a new one quick for us ole timey builders. I need pricey mantel ideas to put in my toolbox.
