Reviews

[Ingrid]

This is not so much of a book to read, but more of a good reference guide to identify and learn about shells you may find during a trip to the beach.

[Bre]

This is a book you have to keep around for multiple references. There is way too much info to memorize! The pictures are good for identifying. I did learn some new things by looking through it.

[Melanie]

I love shells so much I actually read this whole book. It's super handy and helpful!

The recent update reprint must be a lot better, without the old black & white photos.
