It's amazing how Nature crafts beautiful objects from simple rocks strewn across any beach. These treasures are there for the enjoyment of anyone at any time. If you have time to stop and smell the roses, you have time to drink in the awesome charm of the stones of the beach as presented in this fine book.
An excellent book!

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.

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
