5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive guide has lost little after several decades, November 17, 2001

Get this book.

If you have it, or an extra copy, know that there is a market for those who are willing to sell.

The sites listed in the book are good. But even better, the descriptions of the basic elements of the activity are such so that a novice can handle the instruction and grab hold of fossil collecting as a hobby.

I bought an edition that did not turn out to be the latest, and was thrilled to actually learn more about 'old' (read 'lost') sites for fossil collecting.

The best for PA, and I have not found a comparable guide for any other state.

Been looking for this bulletin for a few years - very good price and quality for this old, rare publication. Great shipping time, too!
