Perfection... the best substitute for sitting by the sea

I came across this book in a bookstore and was immediately captured. As a native San Diegan that recently relocated to Texas, I was starved not only for the sand, the sea air, the water and the waves, but also for the entire experience of sitting on the beach and absorbing the sights around me. Farber's book perfectly captures the entire experience with exquisite photography complemented by a collection of thoughts and reflections on "the sea" by various famous people of our time. With this book, I felt that I was sitting on the seashore and sharing my impressions and thoughts with another person who held the same admiration for the sea and the beach. Beautiful presentation and collaborative work by Farber. Highly recommended for a coffee table or bedside book, or to give as a gift.
