Dear Mr Jing (and Conch-L'ers)
At an entry level, the excellent Encyclopedia of Seashells by Gary Rosenberg describes each marine family, with an illustrated example, and contains a good bibliography. It can be obtained from us directly. Let me know if you are interested and I will provide a price including shipping to you.
The most comprehensive work at family level is Mollusca: The Southern Synthesis (Beesley, Ross & Wells, Eds, 1999. Published by CSIRO, Sydney, Australia). This is a brilliant work of great help in organizing collections and studying the Mollusca. See http://www.publish.csiro.au/nid/18/pid/223.htm
Although this is part of the 'Fauna of Australia' series, it actually deals with all the families of the Mollusca, including the terrestrial and fluviatile groups. 350 Australian dollars is a bargain for this, believe me.
Regards,
PC.
