Idaho Minerals, 2nd edition

I was busily working on a new edition of Idaho Minerals, updated with the many new discoveries I've made and others have made in Idaho since the first edition was published (1989), planning on loading the new edition with color photographs and publishing it as an ebook. Before that was completed, the opportunity came up to have it plublished in paperback. The new edition is 370 pages and has 360 color photographs. There also are 22 black and white crystal drawings and four maps. The 2nd edition is expanded from the first edition (revised and updated) with the same format with three major descriptive chapters in the first section covering the Coeur d'Alene Mining District, Blackbird Mining District and the Sawtooth Mountains, three of Idahos most famous localities. The second section is an alphabetical listing and description of the minerals. These descriptions include locality information, description of the minerals, associated minerals and their occurrence. There are 39 new mineral descriptions; minerals new to the state that have been discovered since the first edition. In addition, there are many new occurrences of the minerals described in the first edition. There also is a new expanded index, with all minerals and localities.

The retail price of the 2nd edition, updated and revised, of Idaho Minerals is $27.95. Idaho Minerals, 2nd edition, 6 x 9 inches, paperback, 370 pages, 360 color photographs, 22 black and white crystals drawings and 4 maps; ISBN: 0-9723356-3-3.
