| Mitre Shells
from the Pacific & Indian Oceans
by Peter Pechar, Chris Prior, Brian Parkinson
no date, Robert Brown & Associate, Australia, laminated boards in dust jacket, about 130 pages unnumbered, 56
full color plates for identification and many smaller illustrations of living animals,7¾ by 10½ inches (19.5 by 26.5 cm)
This is another of those books that had only a short run and is consequently not an easy title to find today. It is so
far as I can remember the first book to present a full color iconography of the familes Mitridae and Costellariidae.
While the book is still very useful it is largely surpassed by the much newer Mitridae Costellariidae by Robin & Millard.
But for those who are serious students of these families this is still a very important work and somewhat of a direct
link to the newer book. This is used book in almost new condition
