Book Reviews of Gem Trails of Washington
Book Review: Sadly Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
When I first considered purchasing this book, there were two reviews available to influence my decision. One was quite negative and the other favorable. The negative one seemed a bit over-critical so I opted to buy. Sometimes I fail to show good sense.
We are novice rock hunters. Our first experience in using the info in the book was a site near our home. Neither the map of how to find the site, nor the narrative description of the location and the trail leading to it were anywhere close to accurate. The road number given was incorrect and you can trust me when I say it has not been changed since the book was written last year.
In short, this book does not contain enough detail to help the beginner find the sites described or locate the gems in their raw form. I would doubt that anyone beyond a beginner status could find any benefit from it.
