Oliver combines comprehensive and informative text with 1,200 color illustrations, focusing on the shells themselves rather than on the marine creatures that once inhabited them.
A wonderful introduction to the diversity of marine shells and the hobby of collecting them... an excellent place to start learning about seashells and their classification.

Great gift book for beachcombers and seashell collectors. Highly recommended as a book to be used rather than merely perused.
