I love learning new things, so my home library is constantly growing. Below are the books in my library, covering topics such as geology, Australian gems and minerals and lapidary. A lot are waiting for their turn to be read.
The main reason for documenting this is so that I have something to easily reference, that way, I don’t end up buying books I already have.
Photos will be added soon!
