This book is one of first and one of the very few to study the marine molluscs from Saudi Arabia. It is a very well done book and it serves mainly as a guide to these shells (mostly common and found elsewhere as well as in Saudi Arabia) and gives us a look at the habitats where these shells live, the uses that people have found for these shells and much more as well. There is a lot of information squeezed into these pages that would be a special benefit to new collectors. The book is illustrated through out with color photographs of surprisingly good quality and reproduction for a book that was in its time realatively inexpensive. These books are used but they are in excellent condition ranging from as new to very good. |
