Great photos but my copy is falling apart!

I like books that are interesting and maybe have facts, but if they have too many words but the pictures are really good, it's good even if it IS a grownup book. And that's what this one is. It's so INTERESTING. It's mama's book on seashells and the pictures are amazing. And you know what? In this book the pictures are taped on the pages! They're not right in the pages. I never saw a book like that. It's like someone made the book FOR me. That must have taken a long time. So that's interesting too. I love this one!

The only improvement obviously would've been for it all to be in color (and for the identifications to appear on the same pages).
