Architects and surveyors will welcome it as a guide to the scope of the craft and its materials, and as a reference for conservation work.
It provides a thorough introduction to the techniques of modern plastering and a comprehensive treatment of present-day fibrous plasterwork.
Also included are full technical details of solid work, and thorough coverage of obsolete practices for the purpose of conservation work. It features working drawings in isometric projection to present a three dimensional picture of specific jobs.
The Fourth Edition has been updated to take account of new products and techniques, in particular machine plastering, and changes in health and safety requirements. The sections on Floorlaying, Plasterboard and Internal Plastering have been totally rewritten and all subjects have been checked against Standards. Legislation and regulations have been brought up to date.

 Not what I expected Jan 08, 2005
By plasterman
"plasterman"
This book was written in the UK. None of the terms or products are the same as the USA. Even the explanations of techniques are hard to understand because of all the english terms and slangs. I would not recommend this book because of this. 40.00 some dollars is a lot (too much)for this book and the knowledge it contains.
 great! Dec 27, 2011

The book answered a lot of questions of terms. I wasn't familiar with many vocabulary of plastering like "cornices" or "Darby". I have been plastering for about 6 years and this book helped me better understand the craft and the tools. Plus I am not a big reader and I breezed through it!
Plastering: An Encyclopedia Mar 05, 2010
By Thomas P. Riley
Quite a comprehensive volume. Probably of more use to a person with some practical plastering background rather than a complete novice. The writers do assume some prior knowledge on the part of the reader, however that's not to say a novice couldn't gain something from this book, it's not a version of Plastering for Dummies.
