    Description

    This is USGS Bulletin 1182-E,
    Investigations of Molybdenum Deposits in the Conterminous United States, 1942-1960
    . Published in 1965, there can’t be many of these around. It consists of the 90-page book and all seven of the original maps in a pocket in the back of the book. One of them is a full color map. This is a great reference on the country’s molybdenum resources and makes for interesting reading. The states covered in the text are below. Many have multiple locales discussed:
    Arizona
    California
    Colorado
    Idaho
    Maine
    Montana
    Nevada
    New Mexico
    North Carolina
    Washington
    Wisconsin
    Together the text and the maps make quite a stack, about a half in thick. And the maps are awesome! This is an interesting book on some little-known deposits, and with high molybdenum prices there is sure to be increased attention on these areas. There are so many small mines described here it would be hard to list them all! This is a scarce item, I think, because this is the first one I have handled in over eight years.
    I offer inexpensive media mail for this item since it is a bit larger than many items.
    Expert packing assured.
