Budgets restrict colour photos and illustrations 😞 It has diagrams at the start and then greyscale photos peppered throughout. But the writing does the heavy work for you - feeding your imagination to think & feel the rocks.

Thanks for taking time to reply. Just having diagrams puts your book ahead of most popular earth science books, which have flashy covers & nothing but solid text inside. Greyscale photos are a definite bonus :-)

The worst culprit was a popular paleontology book which didn't contain a reference diagram of the eras, periods, eons etc. mentioned which meant I continually had to look them up online to understand what the author was talking about. Expecting too much for layperson to know all that terminology!

That is a huge oversight! Thankfully I have a timeline, a plate tectonic map and a rock cycle diagram to help readers 🙏🏾😊

Thank you Alan! Of course I would love colour plates, sprayed edges - the works. But I am realistic about budgets and thankful for the amazing work I have created 🧡😊

I've made a note of the publication date. Added to my "books to buy" list.
