I spent years learning how to work stone, and most of it was trial and error. Then I sought out help from those in the business and what a difference it made. I can't promise that this book will answer all your questions but it will start you down the right path and save you years of bumping around in the dark. It's only $30 and could save you thousands in time and mistakes.
I have sold hundreds of this book and there seems to quite a run on it lately .... I guess business has slowed down enough so people have time to read.
