Songofsnow Books, Art & Photo

Beautiful book of photographs, up close views of Sea Shells from around the world with attention paid to the variety of shapes, color, structures, textures, and design.

The authors, Marguerite and Hugh Stix, are founders and directors of the Stix Rare Shell Gallery of New York -- perhaps the only one of its kind in the world -- and they have traveled to all corners of the globe in quest of shells and shell lore.

H. Landshoff, Mr. and Mrs. Stix have written an introductory text which deals with the shell in history, shell lore from many cultures, the romance of collecting and the influence of shell forms on art.
