Rockhounding Texas

Rating:
Summary: Perhaps for someone else.
Review: I have two major points of dissatisfaction, first I found the book lacking in information. Secondly I have some problems with the layout and format: 1.) There is no index, so if you want to go to a site, say, to find topaz, you have to flip through the whole book. 2.) Secondly, the book consists of confusing maps of two, three or maybe even only one line with "to Clarendon" on one end and "to Matador" on the other end; I'm supposed to be able to picture this within the State by referring to the small inset map of Texas with two crossing geology hammers: alas the hammers are by scale so large that I can't understand what's going on. There are no large maps of areas of petrified wood, topaz or agate; instead there are 75 listed sites within the State of Texas with headings: "Cisco fossils," "Toyah Agate," "Frio River Wood." Some of the sites in the book are areas where rock collecting is prohibited. I find little to recommend. Sorry.
