The first comprehensive seashell guide to a single Australian beach, this book features full colour plates for all 155 species collected by the author on North Haven Beach.
Although tailored to North Haven Beach, almost all of the species featured in this book occur across much of New South Wales, and indeed most can be found more widely across south-eastern Australia.
