| An Illustrated Bivalvia Mollusca Fauna of China Seas
edited by Xu Fengshan & Zhang Suping photographed by Wang Shaoquing
2008, Sciencep,China, in Chinese, laminated boards, 336 pages , 7½ by 10½ inches (19.5 by 26.5 cm) about 135 full page plates in color.
Here is another title in the quickly increasing number of titles now available on the mollusks found in and around China. While the book is very well produced I am afraid that it will have a very limited appeal to Western readers who can not read simplified Chinese. I think that a translation of this work would be a well received idea. It is a well photographed book and it is indexed in Latin as well as in Mandarin. I have only one book in stock and although it is a new book the front lower corner is bumped due to poor packing and shipping. I have a second copy that has received a lot of damage in shiping but would be a good working text for anyone who is intreested in it at a much lower price. Please write for cost and a scan of the book.
