Beautiful Artwork!

This book was worth the wait! Great pictures and captivating writing. My coffee table was waiting for this work of art. You will not be disappointed in this book.

Delicious!!!

This is one of the most gorgeous books I own. I just wish there were more books on Mermaids and my favorite myth "Melusine". This book is a must-have!! Every time I read it I have the urge to add table salt into my bathwater a la Splash.

Mermaid Fans: A Must Have!

This book is fantastic! It's a Mermaid Collector's dream come true. Mermaids: Nymph of the Sea contains a myriad of color and visual stimulation. It is so much fun to read visually and intellectually. I enjoy the author's use of graphics, pictures, creative ideas, texture of the pages and typography. It's well worth the cost.

Mermaids, an enchantment

I found this book to be beauitfully written as well as pleasing to the eye. This book has no structure which is one of it's finest points. There are artworks, poetry and little surprises here and there which all help in making this bewitching in it's own mystical and fantasy like way. This is the kind of book that brings out the fairy or nature spirit in all of us.

This is personally..my favorite book, and I have many books.

This book contains no one story, it is made up of many elements. It is eloquently put together. There is a bit of mermaid from every possible angle. The pictures are beautiful, and it contains several little surprises inside. The ideal book for the artist, and lovers of lore.
