Trilobites of New York: An Illustrated Guide

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding
Review: For anyone interested in trilobites, this is a fantastic book. The photography is superb, many of the specimens pictured are incredibly complete and masterfully prepared. It is amazing how many species of this extinct creature are preserved in New York. Not only are there wonderful photos, but excellent background and stratigraphic information to make the treatise complete. These authors know their subject. Clearly a lot of effort went into this book, and it shows. And the glorious photo on the front cover makes it a book you want to leave out on the coffee table.
