The Story of the Northwest's Love Affair with the Oyster
Entertaining text and fascinating photos draw you into the world of the aquaculturists, scientists, and connoisseurs who shaped the oyster-farming industry.
Interesting historic perspective on a major industry in WA. The photos really make this book fun to read, but make no mistake, there is serious substance on the pages and if you spend the time to read every chapter, it's apparent that this is no simple picture book.
A must have for oyster lovers.
I have been meaning to get this book for several years but just didn't take the time to order it. Then I hears it wasn't in print any longer, so I M very happy to have it.
I really enjoyed this clever and beautifully illustrated book. It's delightful to read-- rich with human stories, evocative photos, and even some recipes.
I'm just ordering this book because oysters are my earlier memory. I live on pure-oyster beaches in Dabob Bay.
This is the first complete history of the oyster industry. Within the covers is a story that could have been lost had it not been for the research done to preserve the origins of Oystering in the Northwest.
