Product Information
Pebble hunting is a pleasant and health-giving hobby, whether pursued on a beach, the lake-side, or the river-bank, and all but those who are nearing the last stages of decrepitude can enjoy it. WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY ROBERT MACFARLANE First published in 1973, and recently rediscovered, this is a spirited guide to the simple pleasure of pebble spotting. Ellis is a charming, knowledgeable, and witty guide to everything you didn't know you wanted 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 on the necessary kit. This edition will feature fresh illustrations and a new introduction by Robert Macfarlane. Nature-lovers won't want to leave home without a copy firmly tucked into their coat pocket.Product Identifiers

Arrived quickly, an informative book but, it would have helped novices more if had included photos of some or most of the pebbles to help identify.

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

False pretences
This appears to be a book about pebbles on the beach, but is mainly a dry scientific thesis, rather than a spotters guideVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I wanted this for my granddaughter, but as she’s only seven, it’s not the right book never mind it’s okay. I’ll probably keep it.

Needs a lot more graphic/photo content - otherwise it's a long read....
Good content, but woefully lacking in pictures, maps, graphics - just miles of dull text.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Interesting insight
Fascinating read. A walk on the beach will be far more interesting.. would have like more pictures of different pebbles within the text.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
