Stone by Design: The Artistry of Lew French
Lew French
Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2005
True Beauty
This book is pure pleasure. The artfulness in creating the spaces we live in with stone in pattern, an organic extension of this earth. This is not a 'paint by numbers' how-to book, rather, like looking at a

Best Cookie Cookbook and I'm not a Martha fan!
