SAN MARCOS, Calif. (Business Wire EON) April 30, 2008 -- "This book is dedicated to all the Developers, Architects, Builders, Specifiers, Masons, and Craftsmen whose vision afforded the opportunity for Eldorado Stone," says Brent Spann, Vice President of Marketing for Eldorado Stone. "Inside The Allure of Permanence you'll find more than 100 color photographs featuring our stone veneer. It not only offers inspiration for homeowners and all those in the architectural design and building industries, but to anyone who simply loves creating unique and memorable spaces."

Stone has become one of the most popular building materials in the world and is widely used as an expressive decorative element - on facades, patios and garden walls, as well as inside the home. Fueling the popularity of design with stone is the refinement of manufactured stone veneers such as those crafted by Eldorado Stone. Today, architectural stone veneer is rich with texture and character; true to nature's amazing palette. Its authenticity is expressed within The Allure of Permanence by some of the finest architects, designers and builders throughout North America.

"More and more, Eldorado Stone is finding its way inside homes across the country, along with its traditional use as an exterior application," says Spann. "It's able to bring warmth and character to stainless-steel laden kitchens and it introduces subtle color and texture to libraries, greatrooms, dens and master suites."

Readers will also learn how nature inspires Eldorado artisans in the mold-making process. The importance of grout techniques and use of accessory pieces that add authenticity and installation is also described in detail.

"For more than 35 years Eldorado Stone has been refining the art of crafting architectural stone veneer that is exceptionally beautiful, affordable and above all, believable," says Spann. "This book is a tribute to our industry, to all of our employees past and present and to the promise of what lies ahead."
