Color, texture, pattern, and arrangement are important considerations in crafting the overall effect of a room with tile or stone. This book sets forth the options-plain glossy or patterned porcelain, translucent glass or hammered metal, limestone or terra-cotta-and illustrates the possibilities with lush photos of completed projects. An understanding of the cultural origins of tile and stone also helps in adding ambience to different rooms. Sacks explores the materials that will invoke a foreign flavor, whether it is Tuscan stone flooring in an entryway or hand-painted Moorish tiles in the kitchen.
Varieties of tile and stone exist to suit every taste and budget. Ann Sacks Tile & Stone offers a comprehensive guide to using these materials on large or small scale to add a sense of luxury, culture, and character to any home.

Contrary to what another reviewer of this book says, it contains far more information than a brochure of the Ann Sacks line of products would. (In fact, many of the materials and tiles illustrated are *not* from the Ann Sacks line at all?unless Ann Sacks somehow managed to install her work in ancient French farmhouses, at Middle Eastern religious sites, and in Roman baths!)
This well-produced book is a visual feast, and an inspiration for designers, decorators, and homeowners. It's well worth the price and the graphics are splendid. Anyone who works with, or who is thinking of working with tile and stone will want to own it.
