Editorial Reviews

From the Author

"It's a tremendous thrill to find a ball that you know has traveled thousands of miles at the whim of wind and current. To learn first hand the techniques of beachcombing, I suggest you head for the beach on any day you choose and just start wandering. You may not find a glass fish net float, but it will be an experience you can't afford to miss. Beachcombing is not what you find, it is what you hope you will find." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
