Review,

This review is from: Petrography of Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks (Plastic Comb)
The book is a basic practical introduction to optical petrography and a good easy to use referrence book for advanced petrologists. The CD alone (which contains the actual photographs depicted in line drawings in the book) is worth the purchase price and is an excellent tool for review and refreshment of interpretation skills.
