A good pocket guide Review ofPocket Guide to Rocks and Minerals - Larousse Pocket Guidesby
markos3
Advantages: Size Disadvantages: drawings, not photographs
...This little book is excellent for people who like to name the rocks and minerals that they see in walks in the country side.
This book covers every common mineral in the world. Minerls, rocks and elements are all covered in detail.
Each different entry is given a page of text together with a colour drawing. This makes identifying what you have seen relatively easy. Plenty of properties of the minerals are included.
The book is as comprehensive as it can be with only 192 pages covering the whole of the world of rocks and minerals.
A good value buy for those interested in rocks and minerals....

And in the current time of writing this, with the sub-prime mortgage meltdown getting rid of debt has never been more pertinent or sensible.
There are also two books on real estate or property, although everyone is jittery about the economy you can still bide your time, build up a nest egg and wait for the slump to buy a property cheaply. Even if you don't buy a new property a running theme with the books in this section is to have...
