Excellent!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rubies and Sapphires (Fred Ward Gem) (Paperback)
Fred Ward has a clear and concise writing style. This book is comprehensive, despite it's slender size. It is stunningly illustrated, with fabulous photos of well-known, and ordinary, gemstones and objets d'art. A must for the fan of jewels and gemstones. I'm collecting all his books now.

A terrific introduction to the subject,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rubies and Sapphires (Fred Ward Gem) (Paperback)
Fred Ward is the author of the classic series on gems published in National Geographic magazine and this book displays similar quality. Meticulously researched, wonderfully photographed, it is a marvelous introduction to the subject.

Even though this is a very slim volume, the information it contains is second to none - very interesting.
