Review: Tile Idea Book

written by Andrew Wormer. Newtown, CT: Taunton Press, 2005.

What I really love about this book is the collection of wonderful photos. They make this a book to dream with, a book to help me imagine the beauty of the kitchen backsplash I will create. There are literally hundreds of color photographs here, and each one makes me understand more about the possibilities of tile. I saw kinds of tile I never knew existed and installations that would never have occurred to me.

There are lots of books available about laying tile. I’m glad I passed them by for this one. It’s titled Tile Idea Book because that’s exactly what it is: a book that contains hundreds of ideas about beautiful ways to use tile, and a book that will stimulate you to think of more ways on your own.
