The Pebbles On The Beach

This book is an old book from the 50s reprinted with a colour 8 page cover. It is probably hard to beat, written by a geologist. Its divided nicely into chapters dealing with different aspects. He ecplains clearly in laymans terms how the pebbles/stones/sand came to be. The colour section added later is of little use, a colour photo section would have been better, but still worth reading.

The cover rolls out to show a numbered list of rocks and their types. It's very nice overall and a wonderful gift.

A beautiful little book. The fold out visual guide is clever. It’s been in my beach bag all summer.

Bought this as a stocking filler for my sister's birthday as she loves to collect pebbles on our nearby beach, Was a bit disappointed as there were no photographs of pebbles in the book only a representation with drawings, which I found inadequate. There was lots of written word to plough through also so it wasn't very user friendly.

This a very well written guide. It is entertaining and informative, a rare find. We have started to look at stony beaches with great interest having read this book. We can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who has any interest in geology and pebble seeking or people who get bored just sitting on a beach.
