After enjoying A Passion for Sea Glass with my morning coffee it is taking every ounce of willpower to convince my feet to stay in my office and not let them take me off to the coast for a week of sea glass searching. The images are beautiful - the photographer is clearly an artist. Cheers to the author for a very engaging book.

This book is a treasure for any sea glass lover. The images inside are beautiful and the ideas are creative and inspiring. I highly recommend this book for anyone that lives on the shore, or even for those who are inland but long for the roar of the ocean and the feel of the sand between their toes. It is a wonderfully readable picture book.

Author C.S. Lambert and photographer Pat Hanbery showed us the beauty of those colorful beachside finds in "Sea Glass Chronicles: Whispers from the Past." Now Lambert has gone one step farther by documenting what avid sea glass collectors *do* with all of their treasures.

Sure, dropping the sand-burnished bits into jars and letting the rays of sunshine enflame them is a perfectly wonderful fate for sea glass. But the people we meet on these pages go above and beyond that artistry. They make jewelry or wind chimes or mobiles. They assemble mosaics on tabletops or walls. One man uses sea glass to simulate the windows and doors of the gnome homes he creates. Another artist crafts panels that look much like stained glass windows, until you examine them more closely. And those are just some of the projects featured in this book. While a few of the profiles include directions for making your own artwork, the focus here is on beauty and art and imagination. Most of the artists live in Maine, as do Lambert and photographer Amy A. Wilton; but this book will have appeal for many a beachcomber, regardless of location.

"A Passion for Sea Glass" is inspirational as well as beautiful. Any coffee table would look good with both sea glass books resting on its polished surface. And by placing them there, any host would be presenting an irresistible temptation for guests to pick them up.

Amy A. Wilton provides the stunning photos for A PASSION FOR SEA GLASS, a survey of major sea glass collectors and the workshops of artisans who use the glass to provide everything from sea-glass windows to mosaics, ornaments and more. It compliments Lambert's 2001 coverage SEA GLASS CHRONICLES, which covered collection and identification of such glass, and adds a new dimension of usage and conversion making this a fine guide for any art or photography collection.

I received this book as a gift, and absolutely loved it. I found it interesting to see what other "seaglunkers" did with their collections to display them, where they found their pieces, and enjoyed the beautiful pictures and narrations throughout the book. I will leave it on my coffee table along with my other sea glass books for others to browse through and enjoy.

I have been a seaglass collector for nearly 40 years and was very happy to find this book that gives an abundance of information on seaglass. The photos are beautiful and I plan to purchase other copies to give as gifts to my fellow seaglass gatherers!

"A Passion for Sea Glass" is beautifully photographed with great text from the contributing artisans. Terrific craft ideas and suggestions. Much more than a tabletop book and well worth the investment.
