Subject: Stunning new Cowrie book - US Arrival Date
As Hugh mentioned...
Wilson & Clarkson's Book is truly a Masterpiece!
A preview of this book was shown at the 2003 Tacoma COA Convention last
summer.
Now fresh off press, early review copies were provided at the Show in
Adelaide, for it's official release announcement!
It should arrive here in the US by mid May.
Anyone wanting more information can contact me privately.

Dear All,
At the recent National Australian Shell Show in Adelaide, the long-awaited
new Cowries book by Barry Wilson and Peter Clarkson was launched. This
stunning volume covers the Zoila and Umbilia of Australia and is over 420
pages of colour photos and text.
For the first time, dozens if not hundreds of shells are shown in their
natural habitats, with an emphasis not only on the shells, but also the host
sponges and general environment. This is truly a monumental work and
possibly for the first time in Australian Malacological history, exact data
and locations are given for these magnificent Cowries. It has caused a furor
amongst local commercial shell divers (it has given the family jewels away),
but what a wonderful legacy to leave the shell world!
I would certainly recommend this publication to any naturalist, underwater
photographer or shell collector.
Regards,
Hugh Morrison
