Excerptions From The Book:
"A thousand mile voyage begins with the first step. And the first step is: Understanding Stone."
A quarry is much like a mine but instead of mining coal, metal or gemstones, dimensional stones such as limestone, marble, granite, sandstone, etc. are extracted."
"It is very important to remember that maintenance of a complicated material like natural stone starts at the very beginning of the whole picture: the specification."
"... the selection of the right stone for a project should be based not just on the color and the "creativity" of the specifier..."
"...this book is not strictly about maintenance and restoration of natural stone products, but it is, above all, about stone intelligence..."
