Book recommendation

For a good introductory book, my suggestion is to avoid the two recent 'collectible' genre offerings, and hunt instead for a far better effort written by folks who know something about their subject:

Ultraviolet Light and Fluorescent Minerals: Understanding, Collecting and Displaying Fluorescent Minerals

(1995) by Thomas S. Warren, Sterling Gleason, Richard C. Bostwick, Earl R. Verbeek. 209 pp. (Paperback).

It may be out of print, but worth checking for used copies which turn up frequently. Click the image above to check now at Amazon.
