Actually found a very good book on ceramic and stone tiling the complete guide,, by a english tiler with experience of 50 years his name is John Ripley , I find it very informative , describes all the problems that you might come up against in tiling and explains them well. A good read for the novice.

bought this book 3 yrs ago when a was starting out,still go through it now and then,if you read things often enough,it will eventually stick in your head

 

[paul damian]

Did you find it helpful suave , its quite a good book, do u reckon?

 

[doug boardley]

surely all the current info you need is here? all you need to do is ask

 

[paul damian]

Of course it is doug, but its good to have some information on pen and paper that you can check up on , instead of going online.Do you not read yourself.

Paul, I read absolutely everything from the back of a matchbox to 2000 odd page books, what i'm trying to say is that how much methods and materials have changed in the last 50 years,,,,,and don't forget, this guy just might've been doing it wrong for 50 years ( pva, 6mm ply etc etc etc)
