| The Murex Book
An Illustrated Catalogue of recent Muricidae (Muricinae, Muricopsinae, Ocenebrinae)
by Ruth H. Fair
1976, privately printed, paper covers, 138 pages including 23 full size b/w plates, 8½ by 11 inches (21.5 by 28 cm)
This book was eclipsed by the Radwin & D'Attilio's book that came out the same year that this book was published and consequently it never had as
wide a distribution it deserved. It features 23 full size plates with
clear b/w photos of the shells and straight forward shell descriptions
that make it a pleasure to use. As well as the photographs there are
drawings of shells throughout the text to help with shell
identification. Copies of this book are very scarce and this copy is in
very fine condition. This book is used but in over all excellent condition except for some slight wear on the spine. This book is extremely difficult to find now and its the nicest copy we've had in quite a while...
