Item Description
Hardcover, and a whopping 2130 pages! Fifty Years of What’s New in Minerals by Editor: Wendell E. Wilson - this is a VAST (and heavy) compilation of decades of unbelievable knowledge, that you cannot get anywhere else. This is a massive book with an index compiling all those years of show reports, as published in the Record. From the MR website: The challenge in utilizing such a massive compendium of columns and reports is: how do you find anything in over 2,000 pages? To answer that need, a 184-page index is included as a third volume, giving full access to all the published information. The Index provides access to every mention in this new compendium, by species and also by locality. When a specimen is found to have been illustrated, the owner may write to the Mineralogical Record and obtain an “Illustrated Specimen” label to go with it, indicating the volume, number and page of the illustration—a handsome addition to the specimen’s documentation. This book set retailed for $525 but is now sold out. Donated by The Mineralogical Record. NOTE: THIS BOOK IS IN VERY LIMITED SUPPLY.
This book is part of the 2024 Dallas Mineral Collecting Symposium benefit auction, with proceeds benefiting Mineralogical Record, Rocks & Minerals, Tucson Gem and Mineral Society, and mindat.org. Thanks to all of our participants!
Billing for this auction will occur on Monday, August 19th, for payment using PayPal or a credit card. Shipping will be billed at cost.
