Excellent book for beginner tile-setters

I have been searching for the perfect book on tiling and finally I have found it. I have never done this before and have several projects in my home that I want to complete (floors, countertop, fireplace) and this is the first book that covers each one. This is a brief look into what the book holds: 1. Tile Basics (characteristics, sizes/shapes, room prep) 2. Tools and Matrials (prep tools, cutting tools, setting tools, basic materials) 3. Tiling floors 4. Tiling walls 5. Tiling countertops 6. Tiling tubs and showers 7. Indoor projects 8. Outdoor projects 9. Repairs and maintenance The pictures and illustrations are clear and easy to follow. I also like that the pictures are relatively up to date and modern looking. In short, this book has set me up to succeed in all of my tiling projects.

This is a good how-to book. Clear step-by-step photos and instructions that are easy to follow. If you are looking for ideas and tile layouts keep looking.
