Was looking for a book on how to construct concrete HOUSES. This book has backyard projects of sidewalks, steps, and walls; it's fine but not exactly what I was looking for.I was also looking to find out about concrete recommended mixes. Doesn't have any. It only has brands for you to purchase and follow the instructions but no mixing ratios. You'll find more info googling up concrete mix than you will in this book on mixture ratios.
great book
