Great Step by Step using Tile This book covers all kinds of tile work, including tiling a floor, wainscotting, fireplaces, backsplashes, showers, countertopsjust about everything. It even has a chapter on installing glass tile and tile repairs.This book was fantastic! It has photos of all the steps, great explanations and a section with Q&A's and oftentimes a section called "What Can Go Wrong". I reviewed a different tile book which I purchased prior to this one, (see all my reviews). Good but not awesome. Retitle it "spend like pro" not build like a pro D. Brown Depending on your skill level, potentially a good book. For my first tile project (a bathroom floor + tub surround) I relied John Bridge's "Tile Your World," this book, and Michael Byrne's "Setting Tile"--roughly in that order of preference. I recommend all 3 as each has different valuable info. Books are cheap compared to your time & materials cost.This book has the advantage of great photos and it's modern, unlike Byrne's book or Bridge's first (older). A good read - good basics I've done a few very minor tile projects and I'm ready to tackle a fireplace surround and hearth. The author talks in plain english, there are a lot of pictures to help you understand things better. Good read.
