Buy this book at your own risk. It will destroy your illusions, but may haunt you in your dreams. It will tell you why fossil hunting is worth your time, but why you never get rich with it. It will tell you how to swing your hammer and why you have to keep an open ear when collecting close to a quarry wall. It will tell you how to collect with your children and why it is a bad idea to dig for dinosaurs in Alberta. You will learn that your old dividers from school are excellent preparation tools and that putting a name on a fossil is the least important thing you have to worry about. Stay away if you mind occasional mature language and political incorrectness. Get it when you want a short guide to fossil collecting and you have really absolutely no idea how to start with it.
