I bought this book because of all the great reviews and because I desperately wanted good mermaid art. While the book itself is very creative and cool, a lot of the art disappointed me. I was led to believe that the art in this book was beautiful and rare, so you can imagine how infuriated I was to discover that most of the art was either ugly old sculptures or beautiful paintings that I already had in other books! I spent sixty-two dollars on this sucker, and I personally don't think it was worth half that amount. Don't get me wrong; it's not a bad book perse, it's just not the extraordinary work of art I thought it would be. And don't be fooled: most of the paintings in this book are NOT rare. You can find most of them in "Mermaids: Sirens of the Sea", or "Mermaids: Magical Beings" for much better prices. If you can find this particular book for a REASONABLE price, than I definitely recommend it. Just don't make the same mistake I did and spend a ridiculously HUGE amount of money on it.

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.

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.

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 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.

This has many unique images not found in a host of books available and reviewed on Amazon. One of my favorite paintings, one I haven't seen anywhere is of several Mermaids knitting! They're knitting their fishtales! It's a cleverly, sweet image. A fun book full of whimsy for those who thirst for Mermaidenry.

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.

I COLLECT MERMAIDS AND THIS BOOK IS MY FAVORITE OF ALL THE MERMAID BOOKS I OWN. WHEN I FOUND IT ONLINE IT WAS SO AFFORDABLE I BOUGHT 2. GREAT GIFT IDEA!!

I ordered this book sight unseen because of the 5 star reviews. They were right, it's a great book.
