[Rockhounds] American Mineral Treasures

[Carolyn & Steve Weinberger]

Kenny,

The excitement about the book at Tucson was unbelievable.  Most of  
the specimens in the book were on display at the club show and many  
of the authors were present.  The line for the book signing was  
long...and it took about 45 minutes to run the gauntlet.  Imagine  
holding 2 or 3 copies of the book as many did!

For those who have not yet ordered their copy, I would not delay.  As  
of Tucson it was not certain that a second printing would be done.   
The volume is well worth the $85 (plus shipping) price and will soon  
become a most valuable addition to our home libraries.  You can order  
copies either from Lithographie or Mineralogical Record.

Gloria, Günther and the team of authors, photographers and editors  
are to be highly commended for the outstanding job they did!

Hope you enjoy your copy as much as we've been enjoying ours.
