I ordered a hardcover book and received the paperback instead. Other than that. I’m satisfiedBeautiful illustrations are especially appealing to beginning readersVery nice book, great for children.Just be very careful about ordering a used copy.Inside cover of my copy had large permanent marker lines all over the pages.Our Grand daughter is fascinated by crystals and gems. She loves looking at the pictures.So glad I ordered this! In great condition.ThesThe book answered many questions and knowledgeable. I did however, find that the book used the same pictures as other book on the same subject.NiceThe book was not as shown, it was also discoloured and dirty. Not happy at all.Excellent itemNot great condition, pages were sellotaped, which it didn’t say in description. Not very happy.This is one of the long list of series of books, he is looking at everything about rock/mineral/gem ?Great price for this book. Quite detailed about in identifying various stones and where they come from...many historical references too.
