Very helpful. Good book

I was hoping this was going to be better than it looked. It was not. It is in black and white, so it is of no help if you are want to identify things. I would not recommend this.

AAA+++

If you are an interested layman wanting to know about the rocks beneath your feet in Missouri, this slim volume will answer your questions without overwhelming you with too much technical detail.Dr. W. D. Keller taught geology for over 70 years at the college level, but never forgot that the most important aspect of teaching was to meet the student where they were, and raise them from there.This book was one of my first Missouri geology books, and provides a good general overview. If it has a failing, it is that the photos are black and white, not color, and there are too few of them. It still resides on my bookshelf, and is the source of first resort when I need a quick, but accurate answer.
