Description

Coquillages des Antilles
by Jean-Pierre Pointier and Dominique Lamy

ISBN 2912300703, ISBN (13) ©2003 PLB Editions, Gosier, France, hardcover, the page size is about 5 by 7.5 inches (12.5 by 19 cm.), 64 pages, the text is in French, and the book is illustrated by color photographs

Coquillages des Antilles is a guide with photographs and descriptions of 55 species of marine mollusks, mainly gastropods, from the islands of the French Caribbean. The authors are by two of the leading experts on the shells of this region who have authored several other books on these shells. The shells chosen for this book are mainly common species. Each shell is illustrated with a good size color photograph of the shell, alive and in its habitat and there also is a smaller photograph of a cleaned specimen of the shell. The descriptions of the shells are in French and should be readily easy to read for even non-French-speaking collectors that are familiar with shell collecting terminology. This copy has been used and shows some fraying on the corners of the binding. There is some residue on the back cover where a price label was removed. Also two places of abrasion from what probably was a label inside the back cover. The spine of the book is faded by exposure to the sun. This book is one that I've not seen before this. The cover of the book is a photo of a beautiful specimen of Timbellus phyllopterus (Lamarck, 1822) taken in its habitat. That, to me, is worth the modest price of this book.
