This is a comprehensive guide to the design, manufacture and installation of a concrete countertop. The book explains the art of producing professional looking countertops on a gradient of purely functional forms to elegant reproductions mimicking carved stone ornamental period pieces.

The sections include design and planning, building the mold, mix design, mixing and pouring, curing, finishing and troubleshooting, and installing the countertop. Frequent hints and points of advice give the text a personal touch. An abundance of large scale photographs help articulate the processes described, so that each task can be easily visualized and contemplated.
