The 6th edition of Renee Newman's excellent Pearl Buying Guide is now available!
IMO this is one book every pearl buyer should read. I just placed my order. (I have the 5th edition, but that dates from 2010 and a lot has happened since then, especially with freshwater pearls.)
Here it is on Amazon at $15.66:

(I see lower priced used copies but I would think those would likely be earlier editions.)
For more information, see: http://reneenewman.com/pearl.htm
* New pearls and pearl jewelry styles
