Dear Sarah,


I have this book available. It is aimed at identifying shells indeed (well
illustrated, latin and common names added, smaller and rarer species, also
from deeper water, included). I do not think that it is still in print, but
my copies are as new (i.e. without marks, or signs of use).

Regards,
