This FANTASTIC book is available now:

Cement Tile: Evolution of an art form / El Mosaico Hidraulico: Arte en evolucion (Spanish Edition) Cement Tile--Jorge Aguayo's family factory published this book in celebration of their cement tile factory's 60th anniversary. It explores the evolution of cement tile as a unique floor and wall covering.  See how each tile is individually made by artisans in over 15 different countries and learn how to install and care for them. Many great full color photos and wonderful photos of manufacturing cement tile. 

Barcelona Tiles Book Barcelona Tile Designs by Mario Arturo Hernandez Navarro . Portarricense graphic designer, trained in the USA, a researcher of the hydraulic design of pavements. Both single tiles and whole patterns and borders are shown, and the tiles on the included CD make it possible to create designs in any shape and size. A great resource for design professionals and hobbyists, or anyone who just wants to know more.

My copy came today and I cannot put it down. The CD has every tile design from the book in both low and high resolution. It is truly tessellated tile heaven. 

 

 And this book is by the same author ..You can from Amazon

Havana Tile Design Book Havana Tile Design and CD for graphic artists and researchers

The Barcelona Tile book is the best information I have run across yet. The books are mainly graphics of tile designs, but also have info on history, etc... It doesn't have photos of the manufacturing process, but you can see those on all the websites I have linked to. 

Cuban Elegance BookCuban Elegance features many rooms with old world Cuban cement tiles. This lavishly illustrated, absorbing volume offers a view of the island seldom seen by most visitors. This book presents not the picturesque Cuba of Castro's era with its derelict buildings and peeling paint, but the opulent world of the Spanish Creole aristocracy of the colonial period, which has continued to influence Cuban taste and cultural life on a more modest scale even to this day.

Inside Havana--An elegant hotel now serving as an elementary school...the parlor of a grand mansion transformed into a barbershop...these are Havana's most intimate spaces. This book has photos taken over four years of access to the private interiors of Cuba's capital.  Andrew Moore has created an portrait of both its legendary historic architecture and the city's inner life.
