Retitle it "spend like pro" not build like a pro *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2007* Depending on your skill level, potentially a good book. For my first tile project (a bathroom floor + tub surround) I relied John Bridge's "Tile Your World," this book, and Michael Byrne's "Setting Tile"--roughly in that order of preference. I recommend all 3 as each has different valuable info. Books are cheap compared to your time & materials cost.This book has the advantage of great photos and it's modern, unlike Byrne's book or Bridge's first (older) book. However, it definitely lacks key pieces of information and is quite sparse. You need to read, and reread, each section several times because the text is not written in a linear, step-by-step format. (Where was the editor?) I think it's more of an overview with ideas about design, tools, etc. than a clear "how-to" which the Bridge and Byrne books are. Numerous high quality color photos which are helpful for design and for learning some layout tricks.Things I dislike: (1) minimal discussion of key things like how to mix thinset, the tub-to-tile junction in a tile surround, etc. I'm sure there would be more if I had advanced beyond floors and tub surrounds. (2) They should retitle it "Spend Like a Pro." Rather than tell a DIY-er what's essential vs. what can be done with basic tools, Meehan assumes that as needed you will drop $2000 on a Gemini Revolution saw, buy a DeWalt mitering wet saw ($1000), buy only Stabila levels ($$$), buy top-of-the-line laser leveling tools, buy a $60 A-square, use only Ditra, etc. These are great (and I do use Ditra too) but there are certainly cheaper ways to avoid. If this is your only resource, you'd never know about alternatives.Do yourself a favor and buy this book but get the newer Bridge book and the Byrne book too. Also discover the tile forums on the web. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Definitely Not an Introductory Book *by D***W on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2015* Echoing the sentiment by other reviewers here, this book lacks a lot of the basics that are needed to complete your first tiling projects. The book reads like a collection of articles on moderate to advanced topics on tile. Might be good to fill in a library if you're planning something complex but for me I had to go out and buy the Stanley book on tiling, which was much more clear. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Students of Ceramics: buy this book *by K***V on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2011* As an avid do it yourselfer, I occasionally come across tile projects. Easy enough to find materials at local stores, but a bit more of a challenge to find suitable instruction. This book has it all, written in very clear style. Nice photos, and address use of tile in virtually any situation. Indeed this book provides the basis for my project of tiling the range hood surround. Especially helpful are the comments about use of glass tiles. Enjoy and good luck with your projects. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/45819770-working-with-tile-tauntons-build-like-a-pro](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/45819770-working-with-tile-tauntons-build-like-a-pro) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
