520			_a"A Manual of Face Brick Construction" by the American Face Brick Association is a technical guide focused on the methods and benefits of using face brick in construction, likely written in the early 20th century. The manual presents various techniques for building with face brick, emphasizing its structural, artistic, and economic advantages over other materials, particularly in residential architecture. As builders and masons are the primary audience, the book serves as a valuable resource for those looking to enhance their building practices. At the start of the manual, the authors lay the groundwork for understanding the art and science of brick construction, referencing its historical significance and the evolution of brickmaking from ancient civilizations to modern practices. They articulate the necessity of combining firmness, utility, and charm in building design, reflecting Vitruvius's principles. The opening chapters outline the manual's aims, discussing the merits of face brick including its durability, aesthetic variety, and economic efficiency, while setting the stage to guide builders through specific construction techniques, brick types, and the advantages they provide in terms of fire safety, maintenance, and aesthetic appeal.
