The reviewed monograph is the first extended work in which data on the minerals of the Republic of Macedonia have been described. This book is written in English to make the information on the mineralogy of the Republic of Macedonia accessible to a worldwide audience. The monograph contains a general introduction to mineralogy, which makes it useful for people starting their education in this science, i.e. students of geology, amateur mineralogists and mineral collectors in the Republic of Macedonia. Thus, the monograph is a dual-purpose book.
