perfect portable referece book

great size to take with you to the beach and research the shells you find

It's a compact guide - perfect.

The illustrations and information in this beautiful book are just perfect for a day trip or weekend getaway. Yes, there are bigger more comprehensive guides out there, but as the description of this book says - it's compact and is a guide to commonly found shells. It fits in any bag with ease, not too heavy, and being a hardback it doesn't get damaged in transit. Great gift for someone who travels, likes shells, or has a beginning level interest in shells. Each page is gorgeous, and includes a distribution and habitat map, color coded segments of identification info, and the book is divided into easy to define sections. You can't lose here.
