AB  - Opens with a discussion as to whether the ′real thing′ is
necessarily better than the ′cheaper alternatives′, and traces the
historic rise of alternatives to ′real′ building products. Reviews

(defined as not a tile made from clay). Discusses life expectancy and
planning restrictions on substitute products.
