Book Reviews of Bob Harris's Guide to Stained Concrete Interior Floors
Book Review: Lacks Specific Information on Techniques
Summary: 3 Stars
I agree with the other reviewers that said it is lacking in information on how to create specific techniques. e.g.- it mentions use of materials such as kitty litter or fertilizer pellets, but does not state how to use those. It would be helpful to have a few photos of the material being applied, when to apply it (before or after stain), and photos of the completed effect using the materials.
To those who will say that the information provided is enough, and you just need to try this yourself, well, that is fine for a contractor who is going to do this hundreds of projects, but not constructive advice for the DIY'er who is going to do this ONCE on his or her patio.
It seems designed to whet the reader's appetite for more information (does he have a follow-up book in the works? Is this designed to make you want to hire him?)
It does have helpful information for those who want to get into the business - business tips and advice. This is not helpful to the DIY'er.
Still, it does have some great photos of finished projects and gives some ideas. I have a couple of books on the topic of concrete staining, and this one is about as good as any of the others. I just wish the entire category had a higher bar.
