Book excerpt: "A BEACHCOMBER'S BOTANY is a guide to the plants that grow along the shores of Cape Cod. Most of the flora included can also be found in seaside areas from New Jersey to Cape Breton, and thus the text and illustrations of this book apply to all of the New England coast. The illustrations include all those originally published in Treasures of the Shore by Marcia Gaylord Norman and Harriet Weed Hubbell together with number of new drawing to broaden the scope of the book. All proceeds from the sale of A Beachcomber's Botany go to the Chatham Conservation Foundation, Inc., an organization in Chatham, Massachusetts which is dedicated to preserving valuable and irreplaceable marshes, beaches and uplands. It is hoped that this book will make new friends for conservation, while serving as an introduction to the absorbing hobby of collecting and identifying seaside plants."- Publisher.
