The 10th edition of Fleischer’s venerable Glossary of Mineral Species for 2008 has been printed and will make its debut at the 2008 Tucson Show. Malcolm E. Back, coauthor of the 9th edition with the late Joseph A. Mandarino, has taken over senior authorship of this installment in the series, and has dedicated the book to Joe. Because of all the added species, plus an 80-page section on Mineral Groups, this new edition has been printed in a larger 6 x 9-inch page size (so as not to become too thick for the wire binding), and contains 346 pages (vs. 309 for the previous edition). And yet it is priced at just $26, only $2 more than the previous edition! This book is one of the real bargains in the mineral world, and the extended section listing all of the minerals in each of the many mineral groups is not only very interesting and useful, but is also available nowhere else (even on the Internet). Considering all the changes in nomenclature over the last four years, no collector or mineralogist can afford to be without this handy reference to all 4,233 valid mineral species. Species name, chemical formula, crystal system, type locality, group, relationships to other species and references are given for each entry. Order here, directly from the Mineralogical Record, and help your favorite mineral magazine, too!
