Nice little, easy readable book with very good, basic information, learned at least one thing new from it. Pleasantly worded text and good to understand instructions. Not too many pictures, but very good ones and very big illustrations.
I was a little disappointed in this book. I was expecting a little more in-depth information but what this book ended up being was a very general overview of the topics at hand, most of which I had already learned from reading the various reviews and information right here at .com. After reading the book I still felt like the majority of my questions were unanswered.
This book has a lot of updated information for people interested in lapidary. Very well written.
Thank you for this great book! Excellent for me as a beginner! So nice to have something newer that advises on the equipment needed.
Full of information for the beginner and great tips for more experienced
Very comprehensive book for a novice rock hound.
Great book, easy reading. It answered many of my questions that I previously researched on the web.
Great for beginners tumbling. Also very helpful for cutting,grinding and jewelry making.
