This lavish guide features species fact files, dos and don’ts of mermaid encounters and tips on creating your own mermaid-seeking kit. You can also read about the history of the society and find out how you can become a member. With its detailed information, captivating stories and exquisite hand-drawn illustrations, this is the perfect gift for all of those who truly believe.
