Review by Library Journal Review

Following the 1997 and 2004 editions, this volume includes more detail on walkway construction and new motivational photographs. While the text hasn't changed much, it is still well organized and easy to follow, covering short walkways, patios, and low masonry walls. Certain photographs and projects also appear in the third edition of Ultimate Guide to Masonry & Concrete, but this remains a good purchase for most collections. (c) Copyright 2010.
