Fine, except for dustjacket wear, as noted, and slight rubbing on the top and bottom edges. Bibliographical notes throughout. "World sources of ore and gem beryl" organized by country, with detailed bibliographies, comprises chapter 14 (pp. 359-607). Appendix, including a helpful glossary, and two indexes conclude the book.
