Title: Still the essential reference
Review: No other single volume can compare with this classic. Any serious student of paleontology or sedimentary geology or any serious amateur collector should have a copy. And with several copies available for less than $100 - compared to the $35 I paid in 1959 - it is a bargain. Death of older geologists and discards by librarians who think because of the date it is useless (I personally know of three university libraries that have discarded their copies!) maintain the supply.Only four stars because:1) Treatment of protozoa is too scanty to really be useful.2) Many species have been reclassified so one must do further research on names.3) Some geologic ranges will have been refined.
