I bought the book last week from the City Museum. (NB closed on Mondays!)

It is not a standard excursion guide. The greater part of the book describes the most interesting RIGS sites, in alphabetical order, often in great detail. So to follow one geological period involves jumping from one part of the book to another. 

But it is good for its intended purpose - describing the geological sites of the Bristol Region.

The maps are fairly useless, you will need OS and Geological Survey maps to find your way about. But once on site the book is invaluable.
