5.0 out of 5 stars This book is one of the greatest shell handbooks in print., August 23, 1998

This review is from: DK Handbooks: Shells (Paperback)

I have been collecting shells for around 20 years and never bothered to get a book about them until now. My 4 year old daughter started collecting and I wanted to make sure I had all the answers to her questions about shells. This is definatly the book to have. She is facinated by the great pictures and the cut-aways of the shells. This is a must have for your shelf.

This has to be one of the most useful books I have bought. The photography is very clear. The colors are also good. Best of all I can see all of this without my bifocals.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought it was a fantastic first-field guide., May 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: DK Handbooks: Shells (Hardcover)

However, I was a little annoyed at the scarcity of the other regions in the book,mostly because I was interested in finding out about the shells within the area in which I visit to go shelling. However, I thought it was a wonderful first-field-guide with excellent color pictures, specific descriptions, indication of common\uncommon, and the size of the shells.
