| Fascinating World of Shells
by B. Ershov
2005, Moscow, in Russian, hardcover in laminated boards, 152 pages, size is about 8½ by 11 inches, (22 by28.25cm) beautiful color photographs and drawings through out the text
This book will probably never have the distribution that it deserves since it is only in Russian and no translation is provided. It is a pity because it appears to be a very thorough and interesting book that took a great deal of time and effort to produce. On the other hand it looks as if it s an excellent introduction to shell and shelling to Russian readers who are not able to use any number of similar books that are in English. Honestly, I don't know how much use most of you will get out of this book but it does contain some very good color photographs of shells, some familiar and some rare and some just pretty. |
