Summary:

"Brick Bonds is a book documenting over 50 bond patterns used in brick-laying, including the basic wall bond patterns as well as paving patterns and more elaborate diaper patterns and other decorative techniques." -- melissaprice.co.uk.
"We are surrounded by bricks, but seldom dwell on the patterns used to build them into walls and structures. The diverse range of bonds exist for different reasons - the traditional bonds, such as English Bond and Flemish Bond are used for their structural strength. Some bonds exist for their economy, speed of laying or ability to form a cavity wall, such as Stretcher Bond. Others, like Gothic Bond and Chevron Monk Bond were developed to create a more decorative and complex appearance. The most elaborate are the diaper patterns where different coloured bricks can be used to express beautiful diamond, heart or zigzag motifs". -- melissaprice.co.uk.
