Gemstone Buying Guide
If you are looking for a brief, concise, easy to read book that spells out the basics for gem buying, this is for you. It also has some lore and some of the most beautiful photographs of gems I have ever seen. Inexpensive and useful.

I do not feel this book is specific enough regarding values of stones for a beginner such as myself, especially for less-expensive stones.
