This review is from: Tiling: The Installation Handbook (Paperback)
I read a review of this book at woodworker's gazzette and it was really positive. So I ordered the book and it arrived last week. This book is cursury in its treatment of the topic and has no answers to any of the questions I was interested in. For example there is no discussion of stone tiles, heating systems for tiles, width of groutlines. This book is embarrasing. I have a book from Home-Depot on tiling that is superior to this one in simple answers to simple questions. My advice - avoid this book and look elsewhere for your info.
