Idaho Bureau of Mines and Geology : Pamphlets Called Pamphlets, but they are full techinical reports.
11x8.5" Staple-bound. Most are illustrated, Covers and pages may be tanned. In most cases, the text is roughly reproduced from plain type-written pages, while the plates are nicer - this appears to be the original form of publication because they are clearly older.
A few are photocopies and they are clearly marked below as such, I have done my best to tell originals from copies..
Illustrated pages not included in page count.
