I purchased this book and it turned out to be a new edition that did not include even one single illustration. This was just a description of 140 illustrations. It was a huge RIP OFF. This was printed by On-Demand Technology that robot read/skipped over all illustrations published by General Books.net. I did not know this before I purchased the book. I would not have wasted my money if I had known this!

The book had a lot of good, useful information in it for beginners to experts. Wish when they copied it they would have enlarged the print. Some of the pictures and pages were dark, so you couldn’t get full beneifit of instructions. Over all, was helpful. The explanations and directions were easy to understand and carry out. For a beginner like me,it gave me practical information in a clear manner that encouraged me to try some of the methods he writes about.

I live in New Zealand and as a hobby make concrete products.This book [a paperback] is very poorly printed in fact most of the illustrations have disapeared from the pages and are unreadable .Some are so bad that it is impossible to determine what they are. Our exchange rate to US dollar is
also a concern as this paperback cost $NZ64[certinly not Amazons fault}

The book was written a long time ago but the information is still relevant and good to know. The printing job is abysmal almost all the pictures are so dark it almost impossible to make out what they are.

If you’re looking for pictures, or to copy someone elses work, this isn’t the book for you. However, if you want really good information and practical guides that work, this is the one. It gives a lot of history and information on the “old” ways. Tips and tricks that were lost with time, and are just as valuable now as they were back then. For those in this field, I would rate this book a “must have”. That’s a rating I have never given to anything before.
