Customer Reviews

Great book for beginners

This guide book is a great book for beginners or young children. The format of the book makes it easy to look up a shell you've discovered. While there are many high quality photographs in this book I am only rating it 4 stars because I found some of the photographs to be of lesser quality, thus making the identification between specific species within a shell category a little more difficult. This book is probably not for the avid collector. The values given to each shell may or may not be completely accurate, but they are fun to see.

Complete Collector's Guide to Shells and Shelling

This is the most complete book I have ever found to identify Flordia seashells. As an avid collector I have used the book to both identify shells and found it helpful for classroom presentations with my shells.
