We got this map-sized folding guide for a vacation to the Sanibel / Captiva area and it was just what we needed.We enjoy the beach and boating, and we occasionally collect shells but we're not serious "shell collectors". As you may have found there are several lengthy books which go into serious shelling detail, and they tend to have broader geographic coverage, like all of Florida. The big reference books also tend to focus on only shells or only birds or other sea life.Instead, this folding guide covers just Sanibel/Captiva and just enough of the local shells, as well as other beach life ...enabling you to identify what you're really likely to see and find in this particular area.Plus it's laminated = waterproof and pocket-able, so we were much more inclined to actually bring it along whether out on the boat, walking the beach, or headed out to dinner.So, for the casual beach-goer, the "pages-per-dollar" may be pretty low, but the actual "use-per-dollar" is off the charts.

I referred to this guide often on my last trip to Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Great illustrations and information. The lamination kept it in one piece in my rough and tumble beach bag.

This waterproof folder was a huge help in identifying the many shells we found during our trip to Sanibel. No visitor should be without it!

nice...useful...will take on a trip in December to Sanibel...

will be using this for a kindergarten science project

Just as described....great item~!

Perfect for Captiva beach trip

Very pleased!
