Trademan's Perspective5
Having been in the Bricklayers Union for 25 years, I have some knowledge of basic tile setting.
The authors explain simply and clearly through photos and text what I knew and far beyond.
Especially like the "trade secrets" and "What can go wrong" inserts.
Recommend it for novice or Pro.

Tiling Complete Taunton5
I just love starting new projects, but I was scared to death to begin tiling. This book gave me all the information I needed to have the guts to proceed. The instructions were very clear and I can't say enough about all the photographs. These authors did an amazing job showing what they do best. Thank you for writing this book for those who must do it by themselves.

great for the DIY'er5
This book gave me the courage to tackle the floors and walls of my master bath, project is going great using the tips and techniques in the book. The "what can go wrong" feature has helped me from making shortcuts and costly mistakes.
