A Child's Book of Sea Shells

We kept this book in our home library as a reference book. It's a well-illustrated guide to the typical sea shells a child might find on the beach.

In a world where the children's books you see sold in grocery and large discount stores are all related to licensed television characters, it's hard to believe that this kind of book was once a staple in stores. These were the kind of books we begged our parents for when I was a kid. Things sure change.

These books are hard to come by, especially when they're in such good shape. I found this vintage book listed at someone's site for almost $14.00. That seems excessive, but a book of this quality is definitely a treasure.

This book is hardcover, was printed in 1954, has 28 pages and is in very good condition. Sorry....this one's sold.
