V.g., spine with reading creases, owner's label. First published in 1971, this rapidly went to a second edition (1972) and was reprinted almost annually thereafter. The Open University has a justified reputation as having one of the leading schools of Geology in the UK, and this textbook written by the late Professor Gass and two of his senior lecturers is stimulating and comprehensive.
