Gentlemen:

I would like your advice, Please.  In the past, I have bought books on EQ's 
and Seismology which ended up full of technical terms and formulas --WAY 
over my head.  I am "thinking" about C. F. Richter's 1958 book Elementary 
Seismology.

It has changed prices from $60 to $65 (used) within the last week.  I do not 
want to spend that kind of money if it was another book like the others.  I 
don't want book written for a grade school child, but I do not have the 
education for the technical books, I am sorry to say.

Anyone familiar with Richter's book or its contents?  It seems to be out of 
print and found only in used condition.

Thanks,
Jerry
