Best books to learn Tiling floors & walls, in order
Tile is unforgiving once the thinset cures, so the reading order mirrors the job: substrate prep and waterproofing first, then layout and setting out from the room's centerlines, then cutting, thinset, and grout technique. Only after the fundamentals should you tackle the hard cases, curved walls, wet rooms, and large-format tile. Learn it out of sequence and you tile yourself into a corner.
