"This book is an excellent reference except that it lacks both index and glossary. Any book this dense in information really needs at least one of those, especially if it is going to be used as a text book."
"If you are constantly working with rocks under the microscope, especially metamorphic or igneous, this is a very useful and helpful reference to have. Absolutely essential when taking undergraduate petrology courses, it is a bible for that."
