Summary: Best single-volume guidebook to minerals, rocks, & fossils
Comment: Too bad this book remains out of print. It's the best single guidebook to minerals, rocks, and fossils ever made! Though pocket-sized (4.5 inches by 7.5 inches by 320 pages), the book is chock full of superb photographs, and the text describing each sample is accurate and comprehensive. Organization of the book is excellent, with minerals first, then rocks, then fossils. Within each of the main sections there's an introduction that defines key terms and provides a brief but clear summary of important concepts. I used to use this book when teaching an introductory geology course. I also used the Audubon Society's guide and several other widely-available guidebooks. None of those is as well-illustrated, or as well organized, as this book. I sure wish Larousse would put it back in print!
