This review is from: Rivers of the United States, Vol. 1: Estuaries (Hardcover)

The book was not what I expected - so I returned it. I wanted a book of maps but this was on estuaries - and not what I expected. Their service was fine. It was just not the type of book I was after. Elizabeth J. Jones
