Principles of Sedimentology and Stratigraphy (3rd Edition) Review
I just took sedimentology this semester and this book was surprisingly helpful. I read several of the introduction chapters to get a feel for it and I was really happy with it. Everything is easily stated so that people who aren't a specialist in the field can understand it and I used it for my final extensively. It also proved helpful for looking up terms for other classes. Probably one of the best geology books I own.
Principles of Sedimentology and Stratigraphy (3rd Edition) Overview

Topics include the origin and transport of sedimentary materials; physical properties of sedimentary rocks; composition, classification and diagenesis of sedimentary rocks and principles of stratigraphy and basin analysis.

Overall this is a good book. However, I must say that I have never read a bad book about stratigraphy. Boggs does a good job with this one. I fail to understand where a student could be confussed by his writting style. I suggest that those of you who were confused should read Tucker before you attempt to read the more advanced books.

Packaging was good. I paid for expedited shipping and it came the same day as other books I'd ordered with standard shipping.
