Review: Beachcomber's Guide

 Beachcomber's Guide to Gulf Coast Marine Life: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida
    
Rothschild, Susan B.

Not so good.  I'm sure it's accurate and informative, but the illustrations were all black-and-white drawings and not nearly enough of them.  And the descriptions too short.  It's possibly okay as a reference work, but I suspect trying to use it for field identification would be a waste.  I didn't manage to read it, either--not exactly readable except in the way that an encyclopedia can be readable.  Too bad.

Good try, but needed much, much more.
