Abstract
We all have books on the shelves of our personal libraries, not collecting dust, but regularly being pulled down and referred to despite their age. I have several that are still there and being used almost 50 years after I bought them, all wise investments, indeed. Directory of British Fossiliferous Localities is particularly cherished, capturing the flavour of geological fieldwork in a time now sadly lost.
