This is a book that we used to carry when it first came out and which has sort of slipped between the cracks after it sold out. We were glad to see that the publisher still has some stock left and we will keep them in inventory as long as the supply lasts. This is the first of two volumes that were done in this series. The series was discontinued after the second volume. There are not a great number of shells that are treated in either of the two volumes but what shells there are have a very well done description and the illustrations which take up the major part of this book are extremely well done. Among the species covered are those that are endemic to the Galapagos Islands and those that are found on the Eastern Pacific coast of South America. |
