Front cover bottom corner crease. 232 Pgs. ISBN 0918804558. LCCN 86-51320. The author, a master tilesetter, unveils his craft to everyone interested in tiling. He starts with the basics: the varieties of tile available, tools, setting materials, surface preparation and layout. He then turns from theory to practice, guiding you step by step through a series of actual home installations: floor, walls, and countertops. For each type of project, he demonstrates both the traditional, thick mortar-bed setting method and the newer, thinset technique. In the final chapter, he goes on to address such problem installations as fireplace hearths and stove surrounds and to discuss repair work. Illustrated with drawings and photos.
