Dozens of new color photographs have been added, as well as step-by-step illustrations and line drawings.This book is sure to become a classic. It belongs on the shelf of every architect, roofer, slate roof owner, architectural consultant, history buff, and anyone in the roofing industry.

"The Slate Roof Bible is a fine book, filled with fascinating information about slate: its history, the industry, and the way to work with it properly...I've been working with slate for a long time; still, I learned from this book some valuable hints and techniques that I've been able to put into practice."—Fine Homebuilding"With over [47] years experience working with slate roofs, Joseph Jenkins has written a book so comprehensive in both historical and technical information that is a definite must-have for any library. Rarely does one read a book expressing such personal enthusiasm and technical knowledge...He masterfully blends technical and historical information with personal anecdotes in a style of writing that roofing (or even for those with experience), this book will develop in the reader an appreciation and understanding of roofing slate and slate roofs. Jenkins has provided the roofing community with a definitive, single-source manual for slate roofing."—Roof Consultants Institute
