A really nice (and inexpensive) softcover book on deepsea life is
Pater Batson's "Deep New Zealand". Peter is an expert photographer of
marine organisms and took most of the images himself, has been down
to the midocean rifts in the "Alvin" (I have a crushed styrofoam
"Alvin" cup from him) and is at present hanging around the Axial
Volcano off Cascadia... the illustrated shells are almost all from my
collection.

I just wish I could find my special hardcover copy...
