Of Books! I love books, especially about rocks and field trip guides! A couple of these are doubles (or triples lol) but all are somewhat vintage. The jewelry making ones are interesting, anyone familiar with the author’s? The Desantels mineral books have great pictures.

I thought I was going to see another picture gallery of an awesome rock collection!

LOL - That actually looks like a great collection of "learnin'" material right there! You should have had that at the beginning of winter! LOL - I think the one on fossils would be pretty interesting...

The Mineral Kingdom book has some extraordinary pictures of agates and other stuff. Check these out and dig the cabs of granite, marble, and other common stones. And get a load of the 18 century artists renditions of the lapidary shop and the giant Swiss alpine cleft type pocket of quartz that was big enough to walk in!

That's awesome! I've ways been a big reader and a book collector. Nice score! My club has a library of new and old books like this I poked around in during the cab class. Once you finish, send them my way! Lol! Enjoy!

RickB: Cheaper by the dozen? Nov 10, 2024 7:07:13 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Nov 10, 2024 21:10:43 GMT -5

amygdule: Her sandwich taste better... Nov 11, 2024 17:07:29 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
