 Ooooo... Pictures... Mar 17, 2005
By Ken Walsh
This book is more or less useless on it's own. It tries to make tiling look really simple and straightforward. Tiling is actually not rocket science at all, but you really do need to spend time up front deciding what you are going to do. It isn't a weekend project. Get a real book written by someone who actually lays tile professionally and not just by people who sell the latest half-baked do it yourself supplies. I recommend "Tile Your Word" or "Setting Tile". Both top notch books. In fact, get both - given how expensive tile is it'll be worth the money.
This book does have some nice pictures of some steps though. That's about all I can recommend it for.

Could have been a free pamphlet Apr 14, 2006
By D. Lynch
I bought this book at Home Depot and returned it after a few hours upon finishing it. I could have got the same information from a free pamphlet. They ought to be ashamed. However, there were some nice pictures and I did learn a little bit, but it was just a super easy primer for the real thing. I didn't buy another book before tiling 900sf in my house. I wish I had bought a better book, as I learned all kinds of tricks "the hard way." Hint: Swimming after tiling all day can return your back to normal when it doesn't seem like anything else will help. I am now going to buy John Bridge's book before my next tiling job.
 Great "How To" Book May 23, 2009
By L. Sullivan
"LAS"
Great simple "how to" book with great instructions, simplistic designs and great pics. I have referenced this book many times while doing my own home repairs and remodeling.
Maybe I Liked It Because I Knew Nothing About Tiling Before Reading This Book? Oct 25, 2008
By paisleymonsoon
This is truly an amazing how-to book for tiling. There were so many things I'd not thought of concerning my many upcoming tiling projects. It covers how to demolish, prepare, and tile floors, walls, countertops, patios, fireplaces, and more. This book even tells how to make a shower stall from the ground up and repair a squeaky floor.
Nice pictures, lacks details Sep 16, 2008
By J. Alex G
When I bought this book, I wanted to tile a countertop with porcelain. The book shows many visual examples of elaborate porcelain countertops in the opening pages. It lists the things you must consider when choosing tile for a project. So far, so good.
Sadly, the book only shows how to tile a certain type of red glazed ceramic countertop. Please show me how to do the rustic stone & porcelain countertops you put beautiful pictures of in the first chapter! This was a letdown.
The countertop section needs to be fleshed out about 3x the length that it is now, with many different styles & methods of trimming. Show people how to trim the countertop edges with different types of bullnose, wood, decorative pieces, v-cap trim, etc. Also show how to undermount sinks with quarter rounds of tile. (See Taunton's book, "Tiling Complete") These are the things people are thinking of when they want to tile a countertop, and the book just doesn't deliver.
I didn't spend much time looking at the floor & wall & ad-hoc project sections of the book. These may be adequate for most people's needs, but I'm not sure.
