Yes it's way out of date. Yes the super rare shells listed in the book are often no longer even mildly rare. Yes it is drawings only. Sigh. But this is the book that got me and all too many others hooked into this area. 30 years later I still love the hobby. Give it to a child and watch him/her grow.
If you like to collect seashells, then this handy key to the typical shells found on a beach may be of interest. It comes in a handy soft cover and is pocket sized, so it will easily fit in one's bathing suit's waist. It is slender, although several of the easy to find shells are listed, photos are reasonable and of good quality. It is similar to other such books, although not quite a book and not quite a pamphlet. It's in a league of its own!
This was exactly the book on shells that I was looking for for my grandson. I remember the "Little Golden Guides" when I was a child and was so happy to see that they still exist. Good illustrations and compact easy to carry size.
My family goes to the beach every year and we always collect a ton of shells. I wanted a book that wouldn't take up much room in the luggage and would be easy to carry on the beach. This book was a great price (especially compared to others!) and had pictures and information of every shell we could find! It was great, I definitely recommend!
Ive been collecting shells for years and never had a book.I kept buying doubles and didn't realize it until i got home from my travels.this book is compact enough you can take it along with you without any burden I check off the shells i already have.the illistrations are beautiful and descriptions precise
I expected good photos, not drawings I wouldn't recommend this bookThe information you got you could get anywhereI thought it would be more like an Audubon Field Guide Book
This great LITTLE book arrived in a short time and in perfect condition. It is just right to tuck into your beach bag to take shelling. It has so many pictures and lots of information on most any shell you might find on the beach. It is easy to use and understand; great for beginner shell seekers.
I bought it when I was buying some shells near the beach. The classification is very didactic and the pictures are great. I would just like some more information about the different categories and maybe some information about the geometric patterns that most shells have. Why most of them have amazing geometric patterns?
