“Finding stone, choosing it, and letting go of it are the three things a waller does. I’d miss any one of them too much if I asked someone else to do them for me. I may work by myself, but I’m not alone. I’m in the company of stone.”
Dan Snow is a waller, an artisan who builds walls, terraces, caverns, and the occasional sphere or pool out of dry stone. It’s an ancient skill—building with only what the earth provides. No mortar, no nails, nothing to hold his creations together except gravity, an invisible glue he can sense in the stones’ “conversations” of squeaks and rumbles. A hollow sound means a void needs to be filled; a solid fit is secured with the sound of a bolt being thrown.
Snow’s evocative prose and Peter Mauss’s richly textured photographs of Snow’s work reveal the nuance and beauty of walling—and of one man’s relationship with nature. The result is by turns poetic and practical.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
A Delightful Read, Again and Again -
Dan Snow is a poet, and artist and a craftsman who bring life out of stone. His narrative tells a story on several levels: the wall being constructed, its inspiration and its deeper meaning as metaphor. I am grateful to have encountered his work.

inspiring -
I found this book in the library looking for instruction, and I wasn't interested in another book of pretty pictures. Still, I picked it up, and then spent a good 45 minutes pouring over the pictures and descriptions. And the next day, the images were still in my head. Also the following week. Now that's a good book. It's well organized, beautifully photographed, and wonderfully inspiring. Highly recommended.
This is not a "how-to-do-stonework-101" book, but it shows color & b/w photos of completed projects -
The beautiful color photographs of the artfully designed and master-crafted stonework are nicely done! It seems apparent to me that the stone mason has a definite love for his chosen profession and for any project precisely crafted. This book is not a "how-to-do-stonework-101." It is the meshing between the photographer and artist that tells a unique story in pictures. This book wets my appetite for wanting to learn more about this timeless craft!
Dan Snow is the master of stonework -
Dan Snows stonework may be some of the best in the world. Of all the stonework I have seen over the years his stands of as the best of the best.
This book illustrates much of Dans work demonstrating what is possible.
Most of this work is dry laid stone which is an art in itself. For those who like work utilizing mortar I recommend Lew Frenches book. Buy this book if you love to view stonework that makes you say " WOW!"

Words and Walls -
Over a decade ago, Dan Snow repaired the hundred-year-old dry stone walls that wander across our property in Vermont. The tumbled stone had been evocative, but the symmetry of the reassembled walls has been an irresistible delight. I do not know Snow--he worked while we were away--but I have thanked him a million times for his art. In this book, he has somehow captured with words the sensory pleasure of organizing and reorganizing stones. The art of walling, as evidenced by Peter Mauss's photographs, and the skill of walling, as described by Snow, are compulsively fascinating, an adventure for the armchair dreamer.
The text and illustrations blend carefully, and the color photographs sparkle. The reproduction of the black and white photographs varies in quality, alas. This is a charming book. An excellent companion book is Gordon Hayward's "Stone in the Garden."
