Modern Jeweler's Gem Profile: the First 60 Hardcover – January 1, 1988

Terrific collectors book, now hard to obtain as it is long out of print. Best gemstone photography by renowned gem photographer, Tino Hammid, and wonderful short essays on each gem, by award-winning journalist, author, and former executive editor of Modern Jeweler, David Federman. David's writing in the gem field has garnered him 14 Jesse H. Neal awards from the Associated Business Press, and one nomination for the National Magazine Award. His well researched and entertaining essays in this book are not to be missed.

The exact book I was looking for in good condition.
