4Good Guide for Shells!  Mar 04, 2010 By Hope D R "Hope D R"
This fat book is a very good guide for shells of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, and the West Indies. It is full of information! You will find of each shell the following: name, range (where to be found), habitat, description, remarks (special notes to some cases).There is a very interesting introduction.

There are many pictures, in full color all of them. They are all in the middle of the book, not acompanying each description, as I expected. Anyway, it is a great guide, one that will help you very well with any information you need.

5Very intersesting with lots of details  Aug 28, 1998
Lack of colored pictures. Very informative. Super guide for scuba divers and naturalists as well as shell collectors.

5My best guide to shells but not perfect  Sep 12, 2011 By Eric L. Womack
My best and most thorough guide to shells but the black and white photos could use some updating, also because of the large range this book covers it might have been nice to have range maps for the individual species next to their name on the plate this would help narrow down between similar species without having to flip to the reference pages so frequently. I would have given this a 4/5 star rating but gave it a 5/5 because I felt the need to compensate for Daniel J. Knight's ridiculous review: "Evolution pseudo science babble"

Thanks!


3Field Guide to Shells  Sep 06, 2011 By C. Emmons
I was wanting to know the names of various shells that I gather for my crafts, and this did help. I only wished that there were more of the pictures in color, not mostly black and white.
