erose Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Has anyone purchased the Houston Gem and Mineral Society's CD version of the Cretaceous Echinoid book? I actually had my paper copy lifted at a public event and would like to replace it. I remember an earlier thread where someone mentioned they believed a new Ech book was forthcoming. The CD is only $10 while the paper back is $20 + shipping. I have seen CD versions of printed material that was so low rez that it was worthless.

Seldom Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Have not seen that one but I have other books on CD do not like them at all. I am just old school and like a hard copy.

JohnJ Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 It's as good as the book (I have both). I use it all the time. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepinthemud Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I see those every year, but I have never actually bought them... Maybe this year will be the year.. John, are they searchable? Or is it just like scanned pages?

Plus, the lifespan of a burned CD might be as short as three years. I have several CDs at home that are now worthless coasters. RAWR! I am zeee dead bobcat!
