A truly beautiful book if you get the chance to lay your hands on a copy do!
by Hilary Westbrook
Absolutely beautiful! My children love looking at this book and are now desperate for snow so that we can try to photograph it ourselves.

2453 illustrations, and yes, they are all different. Beautifully clear enlargements of snow crystals; the one thing missing is the scale as all are reproduced to the same diameter. Until you look at these you would never know quite how much detail there is in a single snowflake.
