Witty, humorous and informative; a pleasure to read
I just finished this book by Charles Long, which I read thru in just a few sittings. The authors witty and humorous voice comes thru in a way that makes it a pleasure it read. It also has a very positive "you can do it too" message that resonates with me. The practical and experienced based advice, along with instructions for his particular method, makes it well worth the read for anyone considering building with fieldstone.
Good Stone Primer
Good book. Very serious approach to stonework. The author has strong opinions and conveys them as such. I like this because true artisians have developed their style over time with a lot of critical thinking and experience (meaning things that didn't work out) Should be in your library if you are interested in stone work.
Wonderful resource!
I was very pleased with the level of detail in this book. I was specifically looking for information on stone fireplaces and chimneys and the author does a fine job of being quite specific about measurements and practicalities of building a heavy, tall stone structure. All of the chapters appear to have explicit and careful directions. Many thanks for this valuable resource. It will remain in my library long after the house is built!
