Santa Cruz Sea Glass: The Story Behind the Treasure [signed]

This lovely book showcases the best of exotic sea glass. Written by Krista Hammond in conjunction with Lundberg Studios of Davenport, Calif, "the story behind the treasure" gives context to the unique beach glass found off the coast of Davenport. This is a must read for anyone interested in sea glass. The photography by Josie Iselin is simply stunning. The straight forward language of the text delves into the history behind each piece of sea glass, with delightful anecdotes along the way of how each piece was found. Paul Keitz has photographed the source art glass that was hand blown in Lundberg Studios-before it was smoothed and tumbled by the ocean-to illustrate the full life-cycle of how local art glass has become sea glass. The book captures prized Lundberg pieces in what is perhaps the world's best collection of Davenport sea glass. The combination of beautiful pictures and cogent writing makes this book a fascinating read.
