Here's every basic masonry text you'll ever need.

The first comprehensive set of textbooks on masonry craftsmanship is now complete. With the publication of Volume III of The Bricklayer: Brick and Block Construction, the masonry industry now has a single educational resource that can guide the training of craftsmen from the first time they pick up a trowel until they tackle the most advanced and sophisticated techniques of brick and block construction.

Thomas F. Murphy, President of the International Union and a Trustee of the International Masonry Apprenticeship Trust, and Robert Ebeling, Chairman of the IMAT Board and Past President of the Mason Contractors Association, note that the final volume of The Bricklayer is part of the long-standing IMAT effort to ensure the employability and efficiency of BAC members, and to keep America's masonry industry supplied with well trained young craftsmen.

Building on the techniques outlined in the first two volumes, Volume III provides instruction on how to execute the many complex tasks facing the experienced craftsman-from fireplaces to serpentine walls.

Written by top journeymen and contractors with years of practical experience, the complete Bricklayer text will become an indispensable basic tool for Joint Apprenticeship Committees, apprentices, journeymen, and supervisory personnel.

The three-volume set is available for $36.50 from the International Masonry Apprenticeship Trust.
