Duane: Books Review: Could be the best guide for the PNW! - I have been a docent for US Fish and Wildlife and the BLM. Helping and educating folks learn about tide pools and the creatures and plants that are part of them. After using many guide books, I have to say that this has to be the best one out there.

If you want one guide to know coastal plants and water animals, this is the one. Review: Great overall book on the subject - Very comprehensive and lots of photos.

Could be the best guide for the PNW!

The definitive field guide for PNW beaches.
I own the earlier edition and bought this to have the same copy as my students. It is well detailed, accurate and includes great photographs, habitat information, and best beach behavior advice.

The perfect guide
This updated guide is perfect. Great descriptions and pictures. Lots of information and many of the names have been updated to reflect the changes in taxonomy. I love that some pictures are what you'll actually SEE in the intertidal and not just want a pristine specimen looks like. Very helpful for identification. Great book, also a great gift for the sea lover.

Best intertidal identification guide for the Pacific Northwest Intertidal area.
I've tried several guides and this one is by far the most useful and informative one out there that can actually be taken into the intertidal. I love it.

A helpful guide-but not essential
This guide lived up to its name and was fairly useful. However, it could have used some more detail, and pictures of just the shells would have been helpful. In general, it is a good beginners book.
