A Guide to Dry Stone Walling

Very helpfull

Book was a gift

After a very difficult first order,failed delivery and out of the question delivery 'FORECAST' of February in spite of the fact I originally ordered it in October as a Christmas present. I spent untold hours researching availability from many other sources until one informed me that it was out of print and not scheduled for a re-run in the foreseeable future I tried Amazon again using the 'used item' route and reordered a good condition copy from another supplier which arrived on time at an acceptable price.This copy was ex library therefore may have been through quite a lot of readers but I consider using this route again.

Very good

Yes thank you the book told me what I needed to know and a lot more

Appalling photographs of poor walling. Terrible line drawings. Nonsense such as "don't swing sledge hammers etc over head height....blah blah" that is what they have long handles for! Most important; this book only has any relevance for one type of stone and patronisingly dismisses the type of walling found in my district as beyond the scope of the inexperienced waller.

Being a dyker i always like reading about dyking , its a good book , gives alot of details , but alot of the walls showen in the book are awful

As a professional dry stone waller I will admit that I bought a copy of this travesty of a book when I was a beginner 22 years ago. I really cannot believe it is still in print, the quality of the walling is appalling as evidenced by the photograph on the cover. It is more a text book of 'How not to'.......
