title: Contemplating Rocks
author:  Marcus Flacks 
description: <div>&ldquo;Rarely do books capture the elegant artistry of the subject so successfully. . . . For most of us collecting these rocks is beyond our reach, but it would be madness indeed not to acquire this book.&rdquo;</div> (<i>Christie's</i>)<br /><br /><div>&#8220;A readable, visually stunning publication, combining scholarship with enthusiasm and playfulness. . . . The book is a beautiful achievement, graphically exciting and perfectly printed; it should appeal to those familiar with the subject as much as those making their first steps toward its understanding.&#8221;</div> (<i>Art Newspaper</i>)
