Beautifully illustrated and written. Anyone with a shore house must have this book
I gave it as a gift and everyone loved it. Many were artist and want to use the pictures for examples to paint. Beautifully illustrated. We were at the shore when I gave the book to the hostess.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
