I purchased this book through Amazon.ca and was horrified to find out that it is a re-print of the 4th Edition first published in the late 1940's. The book is now in it's 10th Edition !!!!!! The world of Gemmology has changed radically even since the 10th Edition so unless you want the book for sentimental reasons, do not buy it.

All rock hounds and pebble pups should get this book. Often helps in the field.

This was my first purchase from Amazon & it has been a terrible experience.

The book that was advertised was not the book I received. It took a week for the seller to reply to my email saying that it was not correct and it has taken nearly four weeks to receive a refund and I will send the incorrect book back. The seller only wanted to give me 50% of my money back and hoped that I would keep it I think. I think it was very fraudulent.

I will definately never buy anything from that seller again if I ever buy anything through Amazon again. This has made me very wary.

I think that seller "first trust 2003" is a scammer to advertise a book for sale and then send an inferior edition which was much older, one obviously he had trouble selling and thought he could offload onto me.

Well - NO WAY

Please publish my plight so everyone knows what this fraudulent person is up to.
