This is a reference book on caves, cave fromation, and caving history. Although restricted to texas caves, it is a reference on cave fromation and includes some Mexican caves. The authors do a thorough job presenting the geology and hydrology of caves as well as the fauna and archaeology found associated with texas caves. The bulk of the book is descriptions and maps of specific caves within the state. Most of the specific cave sections have photos or illustrations of the unique aspect of each cave. Those caves open to the public are seperated out and covered first, followed by other caves. Within the sections caves are described in alphabetical order.

There are seperate segments of the book on cave conservation and fossils found in texas caves. There is even a road log section. The writing is in a casual style and many good stories and descriptions are found throughout the book.
