Bob's Rock Shop:
Finally, a full-boat mineralogical CD that really exploits the potential offered by personal computer technology in presenting and accessing mineralogical information.... The Photo-Atlas of Minerals stands heads and shoulders above any other efforts in this vein to date. If you're interested in a great mineralogical reference on CD, the decision to acquire one of these is a rockhound no-brainer at $49.95. Bob Keller
