We are excited to announce the 2008 re-issue of the classic, Ferrocement: Building with Cement, Sand, and Wire Mesh, written by architect Stanley Abercrombie.  A reprint of his 1977 classic, it adds a new preface by the author, as well as additional pages to the bibliography.

This seminal work provides a concise history of ferrocement’s origins and its uses, as well as practical information for the do-it-yourself enthusiast.

The 196 pages are filled with illustrations of completed projects, works in progress, design renderings, and step-by-step photos of simple projects for the beginning builder.  This excellent soft-cover reference is handsomely bound in a large format.

“I found this book to be very useful as a general reference on FC and especially the second section on the basics of FC construction procedures. This book is very good in the general to specific level of information it provides on the subject of ferrocement. I recommend it as a practical reference in the field.”

Paul Sarnstrom, Director, Ferrocement Educational Network.
