A manual of face brick construction

"A Manual of Face Brick Construction" by the American Face Brick Association is a how-to book that highlights why face brick is a great material to use in buildings. It talks about different ways to build with face brick, mainly for houses, and says it’s strong, looks good, and saves money when compared to other materials. Originally written for builders and bricklayers, the book teaches them how to get the most out of working with brick. The manual starts by talking about the long history of brickmaking, from old times to today, and explains how important it is for buildings to be strong, useful, and beautiful. The beginning chapters explain why face brick is so good, like how it lasts a long time, comes in many styles, and is cheap, all while promising to teach builders the best ways to use it for safety, looks, and saving money.
