    Beach Stones by Josie Iselin, Margaret Carruthers, June 11, 2007
    By 

    This review is from: Beach Stones (Hardcover)
    This book has beautiful images and interesting text. A good book for people who love the beach. It would make a good coffee table book. I was disappointed in the lack of depth offered by the text. I was hoping for more in depth geologic information, and a greater variety of stones pictured. This is not the book for you if you want an in depth look at geologic process and the mineral composition of stones that wash up on the beach.

    At last we feel justified in picking up stones on beaches! In this exquisite book, beautifully photographed with fascinating text, Josie Iselin and Margaret Carruthers celebrate the world of beach (and other) stones. Great thanks for illuminating a side of nature many of us love and now better understand. Laura and Bill Riley

    A must for anyone who has enjoyed collecting small, beautiful items – especially walking on a beach or along a stream bed. The text is interesting; the photographs are amazing with the stones beautifully arranged. An inspired way to look at nature’s handiwork.
