Bricks,

we take them for granted,


 but without them many of our homes would be very different indeed,

 and here is a book celebrating their often unique designs, 

 the Brick Index is a collection of named bricks, 

 and the unseen makers marks stamped by brickworks from across the UK,

 the book features 155 photographed bricks, printed at actual size,


in it there is an introduction from David Kitching, a brick historian and an essay from Professor Rick Poynor, this must be an invaluable aid, if you are a brick collector.
