Beach~ A Book of Treasures

This book has everything that I love to collect at the beach or close by!

Exquisite!

This book is exquisitely designed, and indeed "a book of treasure." Josie's prose, both personal and scientific, is the perfect balance in guiding you through her one-of-kind flatbed scanner technique photographs, which are simply gorgeous. If you are a beach lover you NEED this book. It is vividly inspiring and a page-turner in every way, to be savored and shared.
