Horatio, et al.
I have the CD-ROM and there are some aspects that suffered in the
translation from paper to electronic form. The text is a bit light but is
readable, though it might be hard for some folks with poor vision. The
printing on maps is also difficult to read, once or twice I couldn't make
out a place name. The photographs reproduce extremely well and the
production of the CD-Roms was probably designed to maximize their
reproduction. Do I regret having purchased them, no. Could they have ben
better, definitely yes.
NG has come out with a set of all the maps they have ever published. I
would like to get this but I have hesitated. until I am sure that the
reproduction is better than those in the magazine CD-ROM series, I will
wait before I make this investment.
Now a shell related question for those who may be able to help. Does
anyone have a Miocene fossil specimen of Chesapecten sayana that they
would be willing to sell or trade. it is a lower Miocene taxon.If you
have one please contact me off the Conch-L list at [log in to unmask]
