The Snowflake: Winter's Secret Beauty by Kenneth Libbrecht (author) and Patricia Rasmussen (photographer). This book tells the wonderful story of snowflakes. Illustrated with many stunning photographs, the book describes what snowflakes are, why they grow into such elaborate structures, and why they are so beautifully symmetrical.  It also looks at snowflakes throughout history, as an object of photography, and in our weather. The Snowflake is a perfect gift for anyone who would like to know more about these fascinating examples of Nature's art. Do you know how many facets a typical symmetrical snowflake has? Hardcover, 112 pages, 8.5x10 inches.

Greg's notes. Elyse and I like to say that just about everything in our store was discovered in our travels along the snowy back roads of New England or Out West. This extraordinary book is an exception. I found it on a hot day in late summer at an airport bookstore in Minneapolis. It has since become our best selling book.
