"Nickey's Brickwork Construction"
by John Malcolm Nickey. 212 pp.: 211 line drawings; glossary. Hard cover, $8.95, with quantity discounts available. Dorrance & Co., 35 Cricket Terrace, Ardmore, Pa. 19003.
Here is one of the most complete and comprehensive books on brick work ever published. The practical knowledge pertaining to brick masonry presented in this book should assist not only the do-it-yourselfer but even mason contractors and architects to a more enlightened comprehension of brick construction.
Author Nickey, who has been in the construction contracting business for more than 33 years and has taught masonry construction at Montana State University, writes in a clear and readable style. The book begins at the beginning the bricklayer's tools and the making of mortar and brick-and proceeds in complexity to the construction of fireplaces, patios, arches, and other sophisticated masonry structures. At the very end, the reader learns about the rare and most difficult patterns of brickwork.
Nickey's Brickwork Construction is literally filled with illustrations, suggestions and valuable tips, including advice to the individual who is considering starting his own masonry construction firm. The book is appropriately dedicated-"To all those who choose to use the trowel."
"Minimum Energy Dwelling Workbook" (SAN/1198-1). 423-pages; illustrated; $9.00. National Technical Information Service, Springfield, Va.
This new document details energy saving techniques, materials and equipment which have been tested in two houses in Southern California under a joint government/industry demonstration. In descriptions and drawings, the workbook explains how architects and builders may incorporate these features into their own energy conscious designs.
The workbook is organized in three categories-general considerations, building design and mechanical design.
