5Trademan's Perspective  Jan 13, 2008 By Blue Lotus
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.

5great for the DIY'er  Mar 04, 2008 By C. Asper "casper"
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.

3Good but not great  Jan 28, 2010 By White Buffalo
This book does a good job of going through the necessary steps for the DIY'er to complete a tile job from start to finish. It provides some great tips that will make your life easier. However, the book lacks detail on some pretty basic issues. For example, the section on substrate offers no discussion on the different types available and the advantages or disadvantages of each. More glaring is the lack of information on how to properly attach them to the sub-floor. It's important to me to know that I can use a coil-nailer to attach hardibacker but wonderboard must be screwed down. This same lack of complete discussion of important details is apparent throughout the book. It's a good book but you may find that you need another one to fill in some of the blanks.

5Tiling Complete Taunton  Feb 05, 2008 By Fishing Girl
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.

5Thorough, Pro Advice  Mar 25, 2008 By D. Lindsey
Having some previous tiling experience, I was pleased to discover that "Tiling Complete" contained many well-informed tips and clear, straight-forward instruction -- simplifying and illuminating each step involved, including the handy features addressing mistake-prevention and trade tips. This is the clearest, most thorough book on tile-setting I've come across.
