This book will help anybody on the Eastern Seaboard find shelling spots from Maine to Florida. It is especially helpful with local customs and laws.
The Art of Shelling is loaded with interesting facts about shells and other beach collectibles. It provides detailed information on how and where to find shells at twenty-six locations in six East Coast states. I truly found this to be a great companion on my vacations at the beaches mentioned...as I found shells right where the book said I would!
This is an excellent book which gives you exact locations of where tofind shells in various areas of the USA. It is written in a way thatmost people can understand...it is specific and clear. While at theNew Jersey shore recently, I enjoyed finding out about the shells thatcould be found in Gateway National Part at Sandy Hook. The book givesgood directions as to the locations of the shells so I would recommendit for anyone who likes collecting.
One of the main issues is the lack of color illustrations or even colored pictures for the shells. Instead the book relies on black and white drawings which are not as helpful to collectors.The book does not give a true depiction of shells of the eastern coast. Areas includes are Florida, a small bay in North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Cape Cod, and Maine. South Carolina, Georgia and much of North Carolina is left out.On the other hand this book was very instructive about cleaning and properly caring for shells.

Wonderful Book! Very Informative! The author tells you many things...especially where to find certain seashells in particular and which beaches to find them. Many beaches are listed. However this book is only for the East coast of North America. Not the West. Only East. I wish there was beaches listed of the West coast but I suppose the author has not spent much time on the West coast. Take the information that she knows. She also explains what shells are and how they are formed and some other useful facts and info. She also tells what equipment to take along with you when you go shelling. She not just explains about seashells in your findings, but also sea urchins, sand dollars, and even fossils of shark teeth-found mostly on a beach named, "Venice Beach." Here is where thousands of sharks have died over millions of years in the Gulf of Mexico area and all that remains are there teeth washed up on the beach! It is the Shark Teeth Capitol of the World!!!Very good book! Not too old either.
I bought this book after our first trip to Sanibel and Captiva islands because although successful in finding many shells, as a novice sheller, I wanted specific information on where the best shelling spots are. This book provided that information for not only Sanibel, but many other locations in Florida and up and down the east coast, and can also be used to determine good shelling spots at areas not specifically mentioned. There was already a return trip to Sanibel scheduled in the near future, but since reading this book, there will also be trips to the Florida Keys, Okracoke Island, NC, Assateague Island, VA, and Cape May, NJ. This book lists shells found at each spot, describes and contains line drawings of some of them, but if you want good color pictures of the shells, there are books for that specific purpose. The main purpose of this book is to help the reader actually find good places for shelling.
