Review of 'Collecting Gems & Minerals' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

Conversational, and hard to rate. In some ways it rubbed us the wrong way, with incomplete information and generalizations, but to be fair it's probably a good book for beginners and simple public reference. Wouldn't trust it for details. You can easily read it straight through, unlike with some other reference books. It has a reasonable amount of photos.
3.5 to 4 stars, a good junior library general title, gift shop book, etc.
