<p>About this no-nonsense introduction to stonework, we'll let one of the book's reviewers speak for us.  The following is from <i>National Gardening</i> magazine.  “Most of the handful of books on garden stonework are fairly long on romance and a little short on the mundane details.  <i>Step-by-Step Outdoor Stonework</i>, however, gets right down to describing 20 fairly simple garden projects, mostly made with stone that is for sale in any stoneyard, or even at a large garden center.  If garden stonework appeals to you, this is a good introduction with projects and guidelines for the small modern garden.”</p>
