About "The Art of Shelling"

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.
