Brick Bonds book celebrates the skill and craft of bricklaying

Graphic designer Melissa Price shines a light on the anatomy of the humble brick and the variety of bricklaying techniques used in construction in her book Brick Bonds.

Printed to the dimensions of a standard UK brick, the book was designed and printed by Price as a guide that illustrates "the full range of bonds in a simple form".

It follows 10 years of research into the history of bricklaying and the wide range of bond patterns, which she feels are often overlooked or written about in a highly technical way.
