Books about amber





Recommendations of books I use and own. There is an incredibly amount of books about amber and its inclusion. There are some books that are filled with errors such as incorrect data about a type of amber, determinations of the inclusions and dating of amber. They are rare, but do exist. Always check out information about the author in several places and others' opinion about the book.


There are still books I want to recommend.

As I get them bought, the good books will get on the website.
