Many people have already commented on the high quality and relevance to the trade of this unique reference tool. Independent Valuer Brian Dunn wrote:

"Having recently had the opportunity to investigate the new Course notes, I must say how impressed I was. Not only are they clear, very user-friendly, but practically relevant, particularly for retail staff. The illustrations are excellent — the spectra images especially are impressive — whilst some subjects of wider usefulness are tackled, including diamond grading reports and weight estimation. Even the basics of crystallography are simply and clearly explained at a level almost all will be able to grasp. Most professional and thoroughly recommended."
