Don't Walk a Texan Beach Without it!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Mrs Andrew's Books are alaways a jewel. I have the second printing of this book and have read through this one. I admit I perfer the earlier editions; large books with lots of info, but you certainly wouldn't call them field guides. This book is, and next to Abbot's large American Shells this is probably the most comprehensive regional guide to American Shells.As a little side note as a kid I shelled most of east and central Texas beaches. I became very familiar with the various species on the different beaches. I did find a few odd shells further north than were listed in her book and some of the shells she lists as fairly common seem much less so to me (I told her as much so! :)) . But this book is simply top notch. And no, I won't tell you where I find my Scothch Bonnets and Atlantic Deer Cowries!
