James Marker of the GIA Library replied:
Would the group be interested in getting a ‘synopsis a day’ of
some gem- and jewelry- related books? The GIA Bookstore has a
large number available and I have the ‘OK’ to --snip-- them from
the catalog to send to Orchid, if people show interest.
If so, please let me know and I would be happy to provide one or
two of the following type of descriptions on a (more or less)
daily basis, I thought it might prove interesting, and if members
of the group have read them, they may want to discuss a book’s
relative merits.
