5.0 out of 5 stars One Book Thats All, 23 Mar 2003

By John Wallace - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Cambridge Guide to Minerals, Rocks and Fossils (Paperback)

If you want only one book for minerals, rocks and fossils this is the one. Covers what you really find in the field instead of only the best or rarest stuff. I give it a 5.
