A conchological iconography

This is a series of publications that began in 1999 and now has 18 sections in print. Each section consists of a study of the shells in one Family, one Genus, or that occur from a certain region. The sections are done by professional malacologists and advanced amateur collectors with a special knowledge of the shells they are writing about. Each section consists of a text section with a description and discussion about the shells and a section of very high quality color plates that show these shells. Most often several specimens are show to illustrate the variability in a given species and also detailed close ups and photographic identification keys are often provided. The text and the plates are printed on heavy, coated paper stock. They are unbound and they are A4 sized paper which is fairly standard in the rest of the world but not in the USA. The pages are punched with 4 holes and will fit in an A4 size binder which must be separately purchased. We offer several sizes and types of these binders. We will give you the thickness of each section in its listing to help you determine how many and which binders will work best for you.
