This is a great coffee table book for us!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Just lovely!By FJI bought this book after finding sea glass on the island of Bermuda last summer. Im obsessed with the hobby now. and the pictures in this book take me back to those awesome hours of sifting through the sand to find these glass treasures. Im buying another copy for my Mom for this Mothers Day. because it was a wonderful experience we were fortunate enough to share together. Thank you for such awe-inspiring photographs.
