It has proved itself invaluable in helping us identify our shell treasures. So, I thank all those reviewers for steering us in the right direction. I have consulted it many times since getting back home and organizing our shells. It has added to our knowledge of shells that we have also picked up along the Virginia, North and South Carolina beaches, as well as Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo Costa, and Marco Island in Florida. I liked, in particular, that the photos were of both sides of the shell, further aiding in identification. As another reviewer noted, the "Did You Know?" section at the bottom of each page adds another dimension of information about the mollusks presented in the book. I'm thinking I'll have to purchase other Blair and Dawn Witherington books--they are just right for the novice sheller and beach aficionado, packed full of fascinating reading. Review: Excellent guide focusing on Florida shells - Each page features specie detail, 3 or 4 high quality photographs with scale/size information, and a fun "Did You Know?" section covering specific shells. I had to smile when I read that area regarding Augers on page 24 where the "auger's summer mating swarms" is compared with "the style portrayed by Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr in From Here to Eternity...". This guide uses the same format as the thicker and more expansive 2007 work (by the same authors) "Florida's Living Beaches: A Guide for the Curious Beachcomber". In fact, I would say about 95% of the content comes from that volume directly, so I recommend paying a little extra to get that excellent guide which covers most anything you see at a Florida beach (unless you are specifically and only interested in Florida shells). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,211,969 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #86 in Seashells (Books) #132 in General Florida Travel Guides #1,993 in Zoology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (192) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.5 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 8th | | ISBN-10 | 1561643874 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1561643875 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 83 pages | | Publication date | August 15, 2007 | | Publisher | Pineapple Pr Inc | ## Images ![Florida's Seashells: A Beachcomber's Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81e52AVtBQL.jpg) ![Florida's Seashells: A Beachcomber's Guide - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KlprQPjeL.jpg) ![Florida's Seashells: A Beachcomber's Guide - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/318FL28dgVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Florida's Seashells A Beachcomber's Guide *by L***L on August 31, 2012* We bought this book from Amazon before going to the Florida Gulf Coast earlier this month based, in part, on the reviews of other readers.

I had to smile when I read that area regarding Augers on page 24 where the "auger's summer mating swarms" is compared with "the style portrayed by Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr in From Here to Eternity...". This guide uses the same format as the thicker and more expansive 2007 work (by the same authors) "Florida's Living Beaches: A Guide for the Curious Beachcomber". In fact, I would say about 95% of the content comes from that volume directly, so I recommend paying a little extra to get that excellent guide which covers most anything you see at a Florida beach (unless you are specifically and only interested in Florida shells). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive and helpful *by B***H on August 6, 2012* Jim and I are really getting into visiting Fl and planning to retire in the Panhandle. Part of the fun is the amazing variety of seashells. We have Florida's Living Beaches: A Guide for the Curious Beachcomber by the same authors and love it. We wanted a book dedicated to shells though. Wonderful descriptions, clear pictures, maps, and tips on collecting shells make this book a real winner for anyone interested in the variety and beauty of Florida's seashells. The writing is clear, interesting, and full of information on each shell. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1696282-floridas-seashells-a-beachcombers-guide](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1696282-floridas-seashells-a-beachcombers-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
