| The Tourmaline |
reprint

 Language: English

Author: Augustus Choate Hamlin

The Tourmaline was first published in 1873, by Augustus Choate Hamlin, with a limited production run of 200 plus copies. The majority of these were printed with a brownish-red cover, while a few were done in a dark blue and green. The original volumes are exceedingly rare, highly coveted, and most that have survived are in private and institutional collections.
This volume is a reproduction, reprint of the original book, recreated as close to the original as feasibly possible today. Unlike the originals, acid free paper was used through-out, so the collector will be assured of its longevity and stability. Great care was even taken to have a tooling die created to emboss the cover similar to the original.
The Tourmaline can be considered a companion book to The History of Mount Mica, also authored by Dr. Hamlin and on our book list.
