Excellent book!, 13 April 2006

By	J. Westland (Scotland) - See all my reviews

Books on the subject of the mineralogy of Scotland are few in number. Heddle's masterpiece is exceedingly scarce these days and commands a very high second hand price. There are other smaller books, but none on the scale of this newest addition to the subject. In addition to excellent mineral descriptions and photos, there are also some fascinating details of Scottish mineral collectors and collections - this aspect sets the book apart.

It isnt cheap, but it is worth every penny. Pick it up, graze through it, enjoy - it will leave you with 1) a sense of wonder and 2) a burning desire to go and start your own collection!
