A clean, pristine copy of this wonderfullly illustated guide to Japanese shells. The book itself is crisp and tight, with some foxing on the edges which does not affect the pages. The jacket has one small closed tear, but is otherwise excellent, and the whole is encased in a slipcase. The text is in Japanese, but the hundreds of illustrations of shells are labelled both in English, or rather, Latin, as well as Japanese. A citation for each shell is also given in English (Fulton, Reeve, Lamy, etc.--if you're a student of shells then you probably know what this means), and there is an index by Latin names in English, so the book is quite user-friendly for the non-Japanese reader.

Terms of sale
In addition to payment through Abebooks (the preferred method), payment can be
made via Paypal or personal check or money order for US transactions only. All international sales must be conducted through Abebooks. Paypal does not adjust the exchange rate.
In January 2016 the US postal service changed international shipping rates. Books weighing 2 lbs. or less (packed for shipping) ship at a reasonable rate. The rate for books over this weight has gone up dramatically. For this reason, the bookseller may contact you for extra funds for shipping. This will occur if the book is inexpensive but overweight. You have the opportunity to decline, in which case the sale will be cancelled and your credit card will not be processed.
Checks should be made payable to Lucy Horton. All books are selected and packed with care.
Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books
weighing 2 lbs.(.09 kg). If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may
contact
you to let you know extra shipping is required.
