This is a comprehensive book on mosaic techniques with lots of good detail. I was looking for something that would give me ideas for everyday projects rather than instruction on how to lay floor tile, tiling outdoors, etc. Good book for what it aims at--just not what I was looking for.
high on technical, low on "eye candy" July 6, 2005

as other reviewers state, this book is a wonderful reference work on mosaics-how to on many different types of mosaicing. BUT, if you are looking for lot's of beautiful pictures to inspire you or for projects, then I wouldn't suggest this particular book for that.
Also, as someone who does a lot of free form or "wacky" type of mosaics-like with broken china, 3-d objects, shells, etc-that is NOT covered in this book. For that, I'd suggest Backyard Mosaics by Sheerin or Crazy Mosaics.This book is more the "formal" style of mosaics.
Overall, for lots of solid Mosaic info-I'd give it a 4 stars and recommend it for your Mosaic Reference Library.
First Rate Design and Technical Information! April 4, 2004

Even though I am a beginning mosaic artist, I want detailed information about design techniques, materials to use, and errors that are common to the craft. This book fills the bill - it's got first rate design information and provides examples of the discussion topics. The arrangement of the topics in alphabetical order may be something that others find less than desirable, but if you read the entire book before making any judgments, you'll find that this is a non-issue. I'd recommend purchasing this book, especially if you only want to buy one.
From library rental to wanting to own it !!! March 4, 2004

I rented this book from my library and am now here purchasing it, because I loved it so much. It is a great collection of basics, supplies needed, various techniques, common mistakes, ideas and inspirations, instructions, classic mosaic artworks and lots of colored pictures, (which even have my daughter asking me when we can try to do some mosaics). Hobby store: here we come!
Even if you just want a new addition for your library, its definetly a great buy.
