Book Review: The Gemology Bible
Summary: 4 Stars
There are not so much books about gemology, what makes the study of the gems a very difficult thing. The books above complete the space at literature and give both a reference and a study help. We could, almost, call them an encyclopedia about gems. In fact, if you bought these books you will not need to buy another title.
Summary of Gemology: An Annotated Bibliography
This widely acclaimed landmark bibliography contains over 7, 500 entries--predominantly books, but also periodical articles, from 1500 up to 1985, with some books published after that date. Destined to become a classic, since the name Sinkankas is synonymous with gemology...monumental...There is no other comparable book...a mandatory purchase. --REFERENCE BOOKS BULLETIN To say that the Sinkankas bibliography is the best gemological bibliography is to condemn it with faint praise. The book is astounding! --GEOLITERARY BULLETIN ...the most important book that a gemologist could have. --LAPIDARY JOURNALGeneral Books
