Good transaction and very useful book  2008-07-11
This is an excellent first-choice book for people who are new to gem collecting and/or rockhounding. It's one of a series that cover many different states. It's well arranged and easy to use - and small enough to keep in the glove compartment of your car.

I have used this book for several trips and have found the directions clear. I am a fairly new collector yet I have found all but 2 sites Most of the sites are eazy to get to and highly productive
Gem Trail of New Mexico  2005-08-17
This book is awful unless you really know what you are looking for, and have a good sense of geology. Just as an example, the author provides information on "candy rock" rhyolite near Truth or Consequences. If you take the directions in the book, you will end up at the end of a torn up road and a wash, with no real clue as to where you should go from there. I took several backroads which required a heavy-duty 4WD, and finally found some rhyolite. This book would be much more useful if the maps and directions were up to date, and if every description of a gem/mineral had a picture of the site you are supposed to be looking for, and a picture of the mineral in question. Don't buy this book if you are a novice, it will only discourage you.
