From the Dust Jacket: "THE COLLECTOR'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SHELLS is the first reference work to combine comprehensive worldwide coverage of seashells with color photographs closely integrated in the text. The illustrations are reproduced large enough to show not just the general appearance of the shell, but details of surface pattern and texture. The more than 2,000 species are arranged in systematic order following an up-to-date classification of mollusks. Within each genus, the species are dealt with in alphabetical order. The stunning color photographs -- over 1,500 taken especially for this book -- often include more than one specimen so the variation within the species or different aspects of the shell can be seen. A pictorial key is provided to assist the collector in identifying his specimens." Bound in the original black cloth, lettered in gold on the spine. . First American Edition. Hard Cover.
