A Guide to Worldwide Cowries 2nd Edition

Cowrie shells are the most popular family among shell collectors and this book really helps as a great tool when you are confronted with a name that you are not known to or familiar with and hopefully one that will keep you from adding the same specimen under two different names. This second edition of this book updates and adds some new information. The lay out is easy to use. The pictures illustrate many forms and varieties of the same species and that makes it a great book to use for varied forms identifications. Both beginners and avid collectors will find themselves constantly using this book as a reference source. This book cover 207 species, 110 subspecies and 80 forms and variations. The author attempts to steer a reasonable course between the lumpers and the splitters. The colour plates form the core of the book, a display of 3,040 photographs of the shells of all taxa.
