"The advantage of this reference lies in the excellent treatment of crystal systems and internal structure of mineralsIt's up to date, so it could replace the older, similar references on your shelf."--Bob Jones, Rock & Gem "This excellent up-to-date publication rates as one of the best mineral guidebooks around. The text is accurate and authoritative, the illustrations are well chosen and of high quality and the production quality is superb. While it is probably most appropriate for the intermediate to advanced collector, this book will delight the beginner and prove a good reference for students and, indeed, anyone interested in hand-specimen mineralogy."--Anthony Kampf, American Mineralogist "This is one of the best mineral guidebooks that I have seen. The written content is accurate and authoritative. The illustrations are well-chosen and of excellent quality. The overall production quality is superb. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in minerals."--Anthony R. Kampf, The Mineralogical Record
