This is the 1998 reprint of this classic shell book. All of the world's shells are included, except for the very small (less than 1/2 inch), and the shells from great depths. Each shell is illustrated in color, and the brief description includes size, geographic range and habitat.
These "Eyewitness Handbooks" are pocket-sized reference books. This particular guide looks at shells, with annotation highlighting distinguishing features of each example. For easier reference, at-a-glance information panels, illustrations and photographs are provided for each entry. Text provides information on key characteristics, with a quick-reference identification guide to pinpoint the most obvious features of each family or group.
