Lesley Durbin's book is broad and far reaching, beyond what the title implies. She is thorough in her approach beginning with the introduction that covers tiles from medieval pavements to early 20th century interiors.
The book is a reference resource for the conservation and restoration of tiles, an important tool for anyone engaged in the care and keeping of historic tiles in situ or for someone who may wish to remove tiles and care for them responsibly. There are many black and white images of tiles showing different types of damage as well as many before and after conservation pictures. All in all, I believe it to be a well-researched, useful publication for a select audience.
