Disappointed. Not what I was expecting.
I expected a book full of pictures for identifying pebbles. The cover is attractive but the inside is nothing but words! Interesting information in general terms, I'm sure, if that is what you wanted, but it wasn't clear that this is what the book contains.

With a foreword by Robert MacfarlanePebble-hunting is a pleasant hobby that makes little demand upon one's patience and still less upon one's physical energy. (You may even enjoy the hunt from the luxurious sloth of a deck chair). One of the true delights of the pebble-seeker is to read the stories in the stones - to determine whence and by what means they came to be there. We must always bear in mind that a pebble is a transient thing. It is in the half-way stage of a long existence . . . This is a spirited guide to the simple pleasure of pebble spotting.

With a foreword by Robert MacfarlanePebble-hunting is a pleasant hobby that makes little demand upon one's patience and still less upon one's physical energy.

One of the true delights of the pebble-seeker is to read the stories in the stones - to determine whence and by what means they came to be there. We must always bear in mind that a pebble is a transient thing. It is in the half-way stage of a long existence . . . This is a spirited guide to the simple pleasure of pebble spotting. Clarence Ellis is a charming, knowledgeable and witty guide to everything you didn't know there was to know about pebbles. He ruminates on what a pebble actually is, before showing us how they are formed, advising on the best pebble-spotting grounds in the UK, helping to identify individual stones, and giving tips onthe necessary kit. You'll know your chert from your schist, your onyx from your agate and will be on your guard for artificial intruders before you know it. Understanding the humble pebble makes a trip to the beach, lake-side or river bank simply that little bit more fascinating. A handy illustrated guide to identifying pebbles is included on the reverse of the book jacket

Not as well illustrated............
............as the first edition. Therefore less user friendly as use for field/beach work. Would have been helpful if this had been pointed out. Original edition far better.

False pretences
This appears to be a book about pebbles on the beach, but is mainly a dry scientific thesis, rather than a spotters guide

Good illustrations.
Illustrations in the front cover very good but I mistakenly thought there would be more in the book. It is very interesting to read about how beaches are formed etc, but not very practical when on a beach when trying to identify a pebble. it is probably a bit too in depth for what I need.
