Pocket book that contains non-geologist information for us amateur geologists. One page per rock with a nice picture of the rock is the majority of the book. There is no "key" as a biologist or botanist might like, which makes rock identification more difficult than it should be. However, the book fits in your pocket nicely, so I guess that's the compromise.
