I really appreciate the great pictures in this book and it has helped me identify a lot of stones I've picked up on Lake Michigan shores. However, I have found many stones in northern lower Michigan that are identified in this book as only being found elsewhere. The book is still a worthwhile addition to any Michigan rock picker's library.
This little book holds a lot of information and is very easy to understand! I can't believe that it is small enough to carry in my coat pocket and have a plethora of detailed pictures! Love it!
I purchased this book for my 8 year old daughter before vacationing up in Michigan's upper peninsula. Granted, she is not by any means an average 8 year old, but wow did she take to this book. I almost regretted it for a moment if I had to hear about one more rock before even making it to any of the beaches. It was very informative and helped us identify most of the rocks we found.
This is a great gift for an adult or teen and some younger kids too. My daughter loves this book and uses it almost everyday. She is very interested in rocks and minerals as they relate to our state. Great for beginners and enthusiasts I'm sure would get a lot from this too. Shipping was immediate and packaged properly. Book came in brand new condition as described... no surprises.
This little book is easy to carry when rock hounding. It was very convenient and compact, fits in a shoulder bag or big pocket with no trouble. We will use it again this summer around the northern part of the state
Good book for "what did I find?" -- not bogged down with technical details, just solid information. I will take this with me when I am rock huntin'.
I LOVE THIS BOOK! I USE THIS BOOK FREQUENTLY FOR ROCK IDENTIFICATION DURING ROCK HOUNDING TRIPS, IT'S SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT IN MY KNAPSACK AND STURDY ENOUGH TO TAKE A BEATING.
Great value, wonderful pics and easily one of the most accessed rock books in our collection. Small enough to pack!
