Rock Identification 
The National Audubon Field Guides are all great and the clear pictures make rock and mineral identification much easier.

Fantastic reference book!!!!
We are avid rockhounds and have been looking for a book to help identify some of what we find. This book had great photos and descriptions. I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone.

Not What I Expected 
I was really excited to buy this book, but it wasn't as great as I was expecting. The pictures are deceiving to me. I can't really use this book to identify rocks in my collection.

Nice pictures 
This is a nice compact field guide. There is more technical stuff than this beginer can appreciate for now. The only complaint came from my geology major daughter - "the pictures only depict the crystal forms, you almost never see such good specimens".
I told her to be more optimistic about finding similar examples.
