There is no question the author/producer knows what he is doing But, was long on basic construction procedure, which I already knew but very short on the exact procedure of adding color, stains etc. Wish he had taken more time to help element the pitfalls of the stamping process, how to align, more on matching colors etc.
But overall it did help me to begin my own learning process.
Sincerely,
Larry Thorpe

Given the pricepoint, there was too much filler, i.e. sample contractural agreements and the sort.
I was really expecting more detail and revelation of 'trade secrets', given its speciality book classification. This will probably be the first book I return. The only upside are the photos, but you can find stamped concrete photos anywhere--- certainly for less than fifty bucks. Most of the text is a redundant overview of concrete basics!

This is a MUST have book for anyone constructing with concrete. Great tips and instructions. For the beginner to the advanced. It is all here.
