Description: Seven Dials, 2000. Paperback. Pp: 224. Formed from the earth itself, and used as early as 5,000 years ago, brick has stood the test of time as a key element in design and decoration.

In addition, a full technical reference covers the construction process, different brick types and bonds, structural information on buttresses, corbelling, cornices, preservation, and more. 9 3/4 X 10 7/8.
