Several of the specimens featured were photographed alive others come from specialist museum collections and are seen here for the first time; all are reproduced with such clarity of detail that they give us a new insight into the strange and wonderful world of shells.Shell is an exceptionally clear and informative visual guide. It presents a fascinating insight into these mysterious creatures into their past and present and their everlasting appeal. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
