Fascinating book on amber, but primarily focused on identifying inclusions (insects, primarily). Very useful charts on bug ID, but also a lot of useful information on separating the fakes from the real, including easy, non-destructive tests. Beware: there is a lot of fake amber floating around. The text is clear and it's copiously illustrated. Nice, useful book.
