CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Lacks Specific Information on Techniques -
I agree with the other reviewers that said it is lacking in information on how to create specific techniques. e.g.- it mentions use of materials such as kitty litter or fertilizer pellets, but does not state how to use those. It would be helpful to have a few photos of the material being applied, when to apply it (before or after stain), and photos of the completed effect using the materials.
To those who will say that the information provided is enough, and you just need to try this yourself, well, that is fine for a contractor who is going to do this hundreds of projects, but not constructive advice for the DIY'er who is going to do this ONCE on his or her patio.
It seems designed to whet the reader's appetite for more information (does he have a follow-up book in the works? Is this designed to make you want to hire him?)
It does have helpful information for those who want to get into the business - business tips and advice. This is not helpful to the DIY'er.
Still, it does have some great photos of finished projects and gives some ideas. I have a couple of books on the topic of concrete staining, and this one is about as good as any of the others. I just wish the entire category had a higher bar.

one of the most thorough books i bought on the subject of staining interior concrete floors! a must-have!
A book for contractors -
A very good book - for its type. It covers, somewhat briefly, every aspect of what it takes to set up a concrete floor decorating business. What is missing is what one can only learn from experiment and experience. It addresses the actual process of floor coloring about as thoroughly as a basic oil painting book covers what it takes to paint like Vermeer (or name your favorite painter). You can take classes, offered by many around the country including, I believe, Bob Harris; you can start with the information here and some slabs and teach yourself the trade; you can work with someone else who already knows the trade; but I have yet to see a book on the market that will teach you "All You Need to Know".
Very good book -
You will get practical tips, helpful hints and step-by-step instruction for staining concrete floors including specialty methods for applying stains, such as using concrete dyes, sandblasting or creating faux finishes, the tools needed and where to get them, how to maintain concrete floors, and creating intriguing effects with torn paper, cheesecloth, fertilizer, sawdust or kitty litter. In addition, Bob Harris' Guide to Stained Concrete Interior Floors will show you concrete design options, how to estimate costs of different techniques, how to prepare samples, how to write a contract for floor staining, surface preparation, sealing floors and more.

For all home decor needs by Star City Home DecorAn overview from 100,000 feet -
Full of general information and totally lacking in specifics, this overpriced book (100 pages, $50.00) is something for the contractor looking to sell clients on acid-stained concrete floors and their possibilities. Anyone looking for information about actually doing these floors will have to look elsewhere, probably by taking overpriced training from Mr. Harris' company.
