I am currently working in Myanmar and have been looking for a useable text book for vocational teachers to use for reference when developing student handouts and learning resources. Brickwork and bricklaying could be that book. However, whilst it claims to be suitable for all skill levels, it does require a good basic level of knowledge and skill because it does not fully explain processes. However, I have recorded the information which I will be able to purchase hard copies.
exellent hardcover book, clear colour pics, nicely set out for beginner to advanced.
Informative. Must read.
