This review is from: Minerals Of California (Hardcover)

I have a copy of this book that I bought in the 1980's. It's a great book if you already know about minerals. The map references are very good, but it would be nice to have them updated to use gps coordinates instead of "township and range". For each mineral, locations are shown by county, so it's pretty easy to start with a mineral and get an idea of where to find it. However, if you're in a specific place, and wondering what you can find there, it's a lot of work because there's no cross reference by location. It's the most complete book on where to find minerals in California that I've ever seen, and I'd buy a copy even at today's price...
