Review
The centuries old tradition of dry stonewalling is resurrected by stone mason David Reed in this fully illustrated book on dry-stacking, mortaring, paving, carving and gardenscaping. . To enhance your garden or your home, stonework gives a permanence not found with other materials. Totally natural and in keeping with nature, stone blends effortlessly into any setting. Like putting a jigsaw together, a dry stone wall requires a keen eye and exact placement of the right stone, a skill in itself but, with the author's adept guidance, he makes it possible for the everyday diyer to make their own. Reed then goes one step further and introduces the concept of mortared stonework, possibly anathema to ardent dry stone-wallers, but offering a wider range of projects indoors and out. Fully illustrated with step-by-step instructions for a variety of projects, this is an ideal introduction to "The Art and Craft of Stonework". - Lucy Watson
