    This book is fantastic! It is exactly as described and came at an excellent price. As far as I'm concerned, this is by far a first-rate, five-star seller that deserves everyone's business. The seller packaged the book with extreme care, shipped it quickly, and communicated effectively as needed throughout the process. This was an excellent buying experience on a well-priced book, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this seller again.

    Mind blowing

    Since I was born and raised here in Colorado I was fascinated to find out this area was an ocean and a glacier more than once!! I’m still reading it but it is so fascinating!!

    older edition

    I think this book laid protected on someone's bookshelf for a long time & never read. Shows normal aging for mass market type book (some yellowing) but no wear.
