rocket Posted Tuesday at 02:20 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:20 PM (edited) In France there is a great publisher of minerals and fossils. The books and booklets are fantastic and very informative. The publisher has been around for almost 30 years now, but no more. It will close at the end of the year. You can still order on the website and many books and booklets are still available. Not that anyone thinks I have a profit here and would therefore post it... We are friends and I think it's a shame that the publisher is closing. Unfortunately because of too few subscribers...

pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted Tuesday at 02:28 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:28 PM Oh, man, that's a shame! They indeed have various great publications, of which I have numerous amongst my book collection! Will need to pick some more of them up before the end of the year, then...!

jpc Posted Tuesday at 03:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:37 PM This is sad. I bought a few of their Fossiles pubs at their booth in Sainte Marie earlier this year. I'll have to review the selection again.. and pay for shipping rather than airfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted Tuesday at 04:50 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:50 PM (edited) Here is a good article with lots of English translations as to why they are shutting down. Physical books and magazines are not as popular as they once were. https://www.mindat.org/article.php/4957/The+loss+of+le+Règne+Minéral+and+the+future+of+publications+for+the+mineral+hobby Edited Tuesday at 04:55 PM by DPS Ammonite 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
