A beautiful guide with excellent photos and information! This made seashell classification so easy.

[Haley · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author really does well with describing where to find certain shells with showing keys, a map, and with their own words. It also gives you facts about how to classify them. If I had to make this book interesting I would say put some weird facts or interesting facts like what the shell is known for. All of it is very realistic since it is a beachcomber’s guide.

[Rosalind Ferguson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Photographs of shells and variations along with Florida coastal maps are grouped and include interesting facts, history or current issues with specific mollusks and their shells. Beautiful and thorough treatment of many tidal treasures, their tracks and egg cases or sand collars.

Very detailed. Highly recommended.

I got this as a reference book, but I ended up reading it cover to cover, sucked in by the tales of gastropod and bivalve mayhem and murder.

Very informative. Wish it had details about rarity and maybe more interesting facts about each type of shell.
