its impossibly annoying
with forestry and ornithology, it was also like that, but with both having a east and a west edition
its annoying

the info, though i will have to agree with ming, is pretty sufficient, but the organization could use some changes...
i was thinking about getting a better organized field guide and writing down audubon info into the other field guide...

Ya, i agree, it is a great guide but the organization sucks, and some minerals are impossible to find.
The index says that they are there, but you aren't able to find them.

during competition, it would take too long to flip through all that...
if audubon changed its organization...i might actually like the series....

If this event allows a binder, then I would just copy all the information from the Audubon guide and add it to my binder.
This way, I would still have the information but the organization would be better. Then I'd just take another useful field guide to the competition.

hm, good idea
what resources were you allowed to take in last time this was an event?
what resources for fossils were allowed?

For fossils we did the Smithsonian guide. Do they have a R&M book, and if so is it good?

Both Fossils and Rocks and Minerals have always allowed a binder and a field guide.

hm, then in the binder, couldn't you dedicate a page or so to each mineral and categorize it and arrange it so it would be easy to navigate? and then get a good ID book as your field guide?
