Reviews for Interesting Shells

'Gorgeous' - BBC Wildlife 'Anyone with a sense of beauty and aesthetics would be moved to see what natural selection has achieved in the composition, form and colour of these shells... beautiful' The Macologist 'It is hard to pick just a few of the many thought-provoking pieces of information that are included in this book.. The photographs are excellent throughout... it is a 'conchological chocolate box': dip in and sample its delights.' Mollusc World
