British Fossils: No. 474 (Shire Library)

Good read very informative

I purchased it for my Dad as a Christmas present as he loves reading about fossils and used to be a big fossil collector. He was happy with it and said it was a good read.

I'm new to collecting fossils so didn't want to get bogged down with too much information at this stage. This book suited my purpose and actually makes fossil hunting seem interesting. I've learned quite a lot too.

not many books that just does british fossils so l can use it find out where to look for my fossils when l get the time to explore the british isles

Very informative with pictures

Excellent basic information with some lovely photos.

This book was smaller than I thought it was going to be but quite informative.

Great

This book is described as an "introduction" to British fossils and, for better or worse, that's what it is, just a very quick skim over the surface of its subject. It's an interesting read in parts but its brief treatment of specific British fossils is too little to be at all useful. If you have fossils you want to identify, this is not the book for you.
