"The Moon Book" Easy reading, most informative

An easy-reading overview of lunar geology and mineralology with emphasis on the examination of rocks collected by the American lunar missions. Written after the Apollo landings, Bevan French details how the collected specimens affirmed and rebuked the various theories of the moon's formation and geologic history. Mr. French's academic background and involvement in the Apollo program gives this book a tone of credibility and confidence seldom seen in this genre.Abundantly illustrated and well-written, "The Moon Book" should be on the reading list of anyone interested in lunar studies.
