Wow! I'm blown away by this book. "A Survival Guide for Landlocked Mermaids" is a beautifully illustrated, beautifully produced little gem that should sit on every woman's nightstand. The author uses the archetype of the mermaid to share her journey of self-discovery with the reader. The book is as whimsical and entertaining, as it is wise and thought provoking.

Every page depicts a different mermaid and eloquently describes a correlating life lesson with poignancy and humor. The lessons offer the modern woman sound advice in dealing with her various struggles. Often feeling like fish out of water (or Mermaids out of water), we strive to fit-in - to be all things to all people - to strike a balance in our hectic lives where we're expected to wear many hats simultaneously and wear them all fabulously.

I immediately recognized myself in several of Margot Datz's mermaids and saw my girlfriends in many of the others. I am ordering a copy for every wonderful woman in my life!

OH MY GOSH! FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO LOVES BEING A WOMAN, WHO DREAMS ABOUT THE SEA AND WHO TRIES TO BE A GOOD FRIEND. FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO WANTS TO FIND HER INNER MERMAID! THIS BOOK IS PERFECT! THE ARTWORK, THE WORDS AND MOST OF ALL, THE VISION! MY FAVORITE - AND IS A FAVORITE TO ALL OF MY MERMAID FRIENDS! IT TICKLES MY FINS!

This superb book is filled with tidbits of wisdom and many laughs. What a wonderful present! Each time I read this book a notice a new picture or line that I feel I didnt take in the last time. The dozens of illustrations are beautiful and take the reader to a new playful and surreal land.

Step into the world of luscious femininity floating in rich tones and wisdom as deep as the ocean. This is not only a survival guide but a guide to owning all our myriad facets as women and mermaids. A guide to a return to our power as women owning our sensuality. Revel in Margot's sage wisdom and insight and absolutely plunge into the fabulous paintings and experience the world of deep waters and frilly lace, shells and sea creatures, awash in humor and delicacy. An utter delight from beginning to end. A must have for every self respecting landlocked mermaid.

This is an absolutely delightful book for mermaid lore lovers! The art work is amazing.....vibrant and fun. The writing is wonderful. This makes a great gift book and is a must for all mermaid lovers!

WOW! For a book that I thought was going to be cutesy and flippant, it turned out to be very insightful. It seems this book was written for me. I've always wondered why I seem different than everyone else, I'm a mermaid. Wonderfully written and witty. Brought tears to my eyes. I do not belong in a fishbowl.

This is the perfect survival guide for landlocked mermaids. The paintings aare awesome, and the survivl advice is witty and fun. A must read for mermaids of all ages!

The author has provided sensibility and great humor to the stages of a woman's life and her pursuit of finding herself and relationships that work. The artwork is great and overall a very delightful book. Everyone I've given this to has sat down and read it straight through and reported it being a "page turner" of sorts.

I really loved this book. I brought it with me to my 50th birthday party and shared it with my girlfriends. So many of us are reflected in the artist's drawings. I want to get it for all my fellow Landlocked Mermaids.

Great book for wise mermaids and mermaid lovers.
Coffee table style with wise words and pretty illustrations.
Makes a lovely gift.
