  • Condition: Good hard cover of this report. Some softening and wear through of board corners and spine corners, with minor scuffs. Two stamps on fly leaf and title page not covering anything. Minor text bending. Minor yellowing of pages. Map pocket is fine. Light wear to some pages. Light bumping of corners. A few folded corners. Maps are good, but each map has a faint ICST stamp (same as on the title page - see photos) on the back. Slight must smell, but no water marks or anything. A good example of this old report.

    Description

    HUGE, SCARCE REPORT!! ALL MAPS PRESENT!! RARE IN HARD COVER!!  ONLY ONE AVAILABLE!!
    This is USGS Professional Paper 256,
    Geology of the San Manuel Copper Deposit, Arizona.
    Published in 1953, this is a very scarce item! This publication consists of a 65-page
    hard cover
    book and all twelve of the original geologic maps, all in excellent condition. This was originally issued in soft covers but this was rebound in hard covers.
    This is a great copper deposit that has produced an extraordinary number of minerals, including:
    Allophane
    Alunite
    Anhydrite
    Aragonite
    Atacamite
    Azurite
    Barite
    Beidellite
    Biotite
    Bornite
    Calcite
    Chalcocite
    Chalcopyrite
    'Chlorite Group'
    Chrysocolla
    Clinozoisite
    Copper
    Covellite
    Cuprite

    Endellite

    There is lots of information on the geology and structures, and each mineral discussed in the text has a section devoted to it. There is history and production information as well. Its a great book.
    This is a historic and highly productive copper mining area, and this study makes an essential (and scarce) contribution to the literature in it. The maps and text combine to make a great treatment of an interesting area.
    All in all this is a great opportunity to own a great geologic publication. Chances are you won’t see another of these on Ebay for a long while! Nice to find it in hard covers. The soft covers never held up that well.
    Shipping weight is three pounds.
    Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordabl
