This book is exquisitely designed, and indeed "a book of treasure." Josie's prose, both personal and scientific, is the perfect balance in guiding you through her one-of-kind flatbed scanner technique photographs, which are simply gorgeous. If you are a beach lover you NEED this book. It is vividly inspiring and a page-turner in every way, to be savored and shared.
