MDS: Ruthie and grandma have fun talking about the sheshells and matching ours to the pictures and learning about what they were for and who lived in them and how the creature made the shells. It’s a great conversation for us and we can mess with sheshells in various ways for a long time.

Anna Johnson: I purchased this book for my own needs (reference of course) and I am pleased with the book. The cover is a soft and flexible binding with a beautiful matte finish. The inside is nothing but full color photos of shells all grouped together by type. I am no expert in shells, so my observations might be lacking to those with more expertise, but I found the book to be satisfactory. It is easy to read and understand. You can see where each shell derives from and there are a few small factoid tidbits displayed next to the photos. I think for the price, you get a pretty good deal as long as you aren't looking for a ton of information and simply like seeing photos as a quick reference or, like for my purposes, you need just the basic facts and full color pictures of each type of shell, of which there are 600+ to peruse.

Stephen W Hurst: The book was used and have several pages folded in. It teaches about Hella and their habitat. Gorgeous pictures and the explanations was easy to follow.

Michelle Stevens: The book itself is great. Shells are well described and the locations where they can be found are easy as well. Five stars for the book. But I deduct a star because the description from the seller said the book was new. However it is second hand. In the front of the book there is a note written that says “merry christmas 2009 Caroline…” etc. So it was someones’ present. In that sense I really did pay too much, because the second hand books are a lot cheaper. Luckily the book does look pretty new and wasn’t used a lot. Great for me that Caroline kept it in great shape. Because for me the book is a real treasure I will use often. So I will keep it. And the seller did send it very fast. So maybe it was overlooked that the book was second hand. Lets’ give the benefit of the doubt.
