The Art of Shelling September 4, 2008
Very complete and helpful for anyone interested in finding seashells on beachs.
 Mediocre information May 9, 2008
The title leads one to believe the information will be far more detailed than it is. I ordered it mainly to get specifics on Sanibel Island FL, but didn't find out anything I didn't already know. I would only recommend this if you're just looking for new places to go for shelling.
 About "The Art of Shelling" July 3, 2007

This is an excellent book which gives you exact locations of where to
find shells in various areas of the USA. It is written in a way that
most people can understand...it is specific and clear. While at the
New Jersey shore recently, I enjoyed finding out about the shells that
could be found in Gateway National Part at Sandy Hook. The book gives
good directions as to the locations of the shells so I would recommend
it for anyone who likes collecting.
 Not the best reference for a collector May 13, 2007

One of the main issues is the lack of color illustrations or even colored pictures for the shells. Instead the book relies on black and white drawings which are not as helpful to collectors.
The book does not give a true depiction of shells of the eastern coast. Areas includes are Florida, a small bay in North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Cape Cod, and Maine. South Carolina, Georgia and much of North Carolina is left out.
On the other hand this book was very instructive about cleaning and properly caring for shells.

This book will help anybody on the Eastern Seaboard find shelling spots from Maine to Florida. It is especially helpful with local customs and laws.
