5.0 out of 5 stars Great photos, lots of future day trips.

While it is true that a lot of the sites do not allow collecting, many of them can be visited.

My husband and I are enjoying the book very much. Some of the sites were not new to us, but many are. The photos and descriptions are generally well done. I

As Snowcat stated, the book is more geared toward fossil sites, and that is clear reviewing the table of contents. Fossils are our primary interest so we are very happy with the book.

While it is true that some of the sites do not allow collecting, many of them can be visited.

We bought the new Roadside Geology of New Jersey book at the same time. It is an excellent companion.

5.0 out of 5 stars His First Book is a Great Starter

Rob Beard's first publication is a great introduction for collectors of the Middle Atlantic region. Text is interesting and easy to follow. Notes as to availability or access to location are clear and helpful. Explanations and directions are all
clearly offerd to beginner and more more experienced rockhounds. A great first publication from a long time associate
of Rock & Gem magazine. Books encourages rockhounds to get out and break rock.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very helpful book with useful information on where to find great rocks, crystals and/or minerals.
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2017

Excellent resource! Most locations he had personally been to and wrote from a first hand knowledge. He identified how accessible the location was, what kind of vehicle was needed and the tools necessary to find the rocks. He also stated if location was private or public property and how willing the current owners were to have rock collectors. He presented some locations which had been good collecting sites in the past but the owners had changed and it was inaccessible now. Several I checked on were in the city and were in the middle of some major construction. The status had changed since he wrote the Guide.

I am giving the book three stars as this was just not what I was expecting and I returned it. It isn't the author's fault, had I been able to look inside before buying I wouldn't have purchased in the first place.
