FANTASTIC! Super-doopa! You have produced one of the most charming and interesting books on shells ever. I'm not kidding. You can tell by the frequent chuckles and occasional bursts of laughter over your wonderfully expressed thoughts.

I am not a shell collector and probably never will be one, but I treasure your book. Your writing is so you, without being egocentric. It is a person writing about one of their passions. Your simple philosophy of respect for the islands and the preservation of their beauty comes shining through loud and clear.
