I take this book with me every time I travel to Lake Michigan from my home in Athens, Georgia. The book comes in very handy and is inspirational to boot. My son and my nephew both pore over the book. The color photos are invaluable as well - other similar books I've purchased had black and white photos printed on regular (non-glossy) paper, and the photos were quite worthless as you couldn't discern details at all.

I have a small shop in a small town along Lake Superior and i am not familiar with all of the rocks and people are always asking me what kind of rock they have found. This helps me find what they have found.

This book is the best book on rocks I have ever read or bought! Each rock has a explaintion and colored photos. The book inspired me so much that when I went to Sleeping Bear Dunes I had to stop in at Mr. Mueller's "C & M rock shop in Honor Michigan" He was there and signed my books and was so helpful in answering any questions I had. His store is a must for anyone who is a rock nut or just wants to learn and see some beautiful rocks and fossils of the Michigan area. I am so happy with this book! It's a gotta buy book!

for your next trip to a Lake Michigan beach. As a novice rock collector who was both fascinated and curious as to the identity of the stunningly beautiful stones covering many Lake Michigan Beaches, this book answered countless questions. A large variety of Lake Michigan rocks & fossils are identified and beautifully illustrated, with accompanying information on where they are likely to be found. Following Bruce Mueller & Kevin Gauthier's tips on how, when and where to find rock specimens has astronomically increased my success in rock collecting. The information on the formation, history, preparation [cleaning/grinding/polishing techniques] and craft/jewelry uses of Lake Michigan stones provided in this book are priceless. Humorous and philosophical at times, this wonderful book has what it takes to educate, entertain and reveal the nature of the treasures lying along Lake Michigan's shoreline.
