Over the years I have used many Books to teach myself this amazing hobby playing with Rocks. As time passed, I've built a fairly nice sized library of Rock related books, some which are fantastic and others of course which are best used as dust collectors. Below you'll find some of the books I really think are worth the money as a good resource.
