Product Description
This follow-up to One Hundred Flowers features gorgeous color photographs of seashells both familiar and exotic.ONE HUNDRED SEASHELLS features close-up portraits of seashells by acclaimed photographer Harold Feinstein, author of the critically acclaimed gift book One Hundred Flowers. Large in format and luxuriously produced, ONE HUNDRED SEASHELLS brings forth the intricate and subtle beauty of shells-their luminous array of colors, their every twist and turn-to an unprecedented degree. Feinstein+s images are accompanied by identifying captions and are breathtaking in their detail and appreciation of form. The book features a broad range of shells both familiar and obscure-from Abalone to Zambo+s Murex-and will appeal to nature and beach lovers, photography fans, and fine art collectors alike. Nature writer Sydney Eddison writes about her passion for collecting seashells and about their astonishing architecture in her introduction to the book. In his brief foreword, the photographer also turns to architecture to describe his passion: -I wish that Louis Kahn, the renowned architect for whom I photographed, were alive, so that I could hear his observations on these remarkable structures born of the creatures that inhabit them.+

 Breathtaking! June 30, 2008
I LOVE this book!. It's a large, beautifully photographed coffee table book designed to delight the senses. I bought a second copy and framed six of the photographs for a spectacular wall display. If you love photography, seashells, or just a great coofee table book...this is a winner!!

This is an absolutely gorgeous book. I learned of its existence at a beach wedding we attended recently where it was used as a Guest Book. People were expected to select a page and sign in on a shell with a big Sharpie pen. Naturally, when we celebrated our 25th Anniversary at the Yacht Club with a beach/shell/nautical theme last week, we used the book in the same way. People loved looking through the impressive photographs and it will be a beautiful memory maker for years to come!

I purchased this for my friend who has a condo on the water in Naples and it looks beautiful on her coffee table. Everyone who visits admires it. It's a very beautiful book and the perfect hostess gift. We really enjoy it!

Although this book has some compelling and beautiful photographs, they fall short of the high resolution photos we have all become used to. The photos (or perhaps the printing) lacks the clarity and detail that high-res photos (or printing) would have given.
