Customer Reviews
Superb balance of design and practical information - Rated A fantastic book! By far my favourite out of all the 'build-your-own' books that I have read. The author gives lots of inspirational pictures and ideas, but also covers all the information that you need to actually make a concrete worktop (unlike so many DIY books, that just say 'now find a good plumber/carpenter/etc') He even has an extensive trouble-shooting section. About to try it for myself - wish me luck! A Superb book. Interesting even if you're not interested!!! - Rated This is the sort of book that you would pick up even if you didn't know what it was about. A lovely cover with high quality paper and loads of really good quality colour photographs. The content is easy to read and really interesting for someone like myself who just wanted to know something about the practicalities of using concrete as a decorative product. The book does not contain huge amounts of text nor lots of technical detail (e.g. down to the chemical level). It does however give you all the detail and knowledge that you need to know to get you going. Cheng also includes plenty of practical hints and tips to help the beginner overcome some of the basic mistakes which may be offputting. If like me you didn't know anything about making concrete worktops, this book is ideal. If you do already know something about the subject, then it may still be worthwhile for a bit of inspiration. Overall I found this book a really pleasant read with plenty of great pictures to back up the text. It would make a great coffee-table book as even the non-engineer will find the artistic side and innumerable photographs interesting. Well Written - Rated In the middle of a large refurbishment project and have purchased several books to help me. Without doubt the most comprehensive and well written book in my libary. Author takes nothing for granted with excellent pictures and explantion. Now to put the words into action. If it goes wrong it wont be the books fault. Excellent practical advice on creating concrete worktops etc - Rated Well written and illustrated manual on the casting and finishing of concrete work surfaces for the home. Suitable for DIY enthusiasts as well as architects and designers who are looking for information on the skills required for polished concrete finishes etc.where a unique affect is desired.
