Fantastic Sea Shell Book , Same as The Shell: 500 Million Years of Inspired Design.

I fully agree with Patricia K. Teague, reviewing the other edition, including that this book has some beautiful photographs of Sea Shells, and is not an ID field guide. Only critical point is this book has been published several times in different editions and formats and under more than one title, often with abridged contents. Not nearly as impressive in oversized trade paper binding, The full hardcover version is fantastic. I've seen the (1st edition, 1968) early edition with tipped in photo lithographs. Odd and bulky in that form, but a conversation piece. A possibly better, and less expensive way to go is this concise hard cover edition under the title "The Shell: Gift of the Sea" Abradale/Abrams 1984 ISBN 0-8109-8058-4. Essentially the same book as "The Shell: 500 Million Yeas of Inspired Design". But for those of us on an even tighter budget, the paper back is great too.
