Earthwhile Being said nice for coffee table, light on content for serious readers though. This book has loads of lovely arty colour photos, great for the coffee table but is light in content. The typeset layout has the text column taking only one third of the page width, and the entire text would fit into an essay of less than ten pages (by my guesstimation).There is a nice intro that sets tadelakt into the context of Morroccan culture .

"Great intro to Tadelakt" according to Amazon Customer. Like another reviewer, I would say this book is nicely decorated and heavy on pictures. Perhaps a little light on content, but I think it serves its purpose well enough; it gives a good description of the history, culture in which it developed, chemistry and application. The bulk of knowledge beyond that, from what I gather, is something best found
This book offers a step-by-step approach to the technique, as well as a close look at its roots and the cultural traditions associated with it. 78 color photos. The first comprehensive description of an old Moroccan plaster technique that creates unique, sensual, natural effects.
