From Library Journal
The author, a fifth-generation master stonemason who has worked on the U.S. Capitol building as well as numerous edifices in his native Scotland, has compiled an impressive guide to both building and restoring stonework. Excellent illustrations, photographs, and a comprehensive text all help explain an extremely complex subject in terms comprehensible to lay readers. Cramb shows how to build numerous structures, including walls, arches, and towers, and how to restore or preserve existing edifices. Other sections describe different types of stones, stonemason's terminology, and tools and their use. This outstanding work will appeal to architects, renovators, and historians as well as anyone interested in how large stone buildings like castles were built. Recommended for academic and public libraries.
