Dear Sophie and landshellers of the past e-mails

not only Haendel I like, but also landshells, but I must tell you that the names in Cameron
and Kerney are sometimes incorrect and the translation of Junglbuth too. I would consider
you the book Weichtiere by Rosina Fechter (marine shells - but you can forget this part)
and Gerhard Falkner (part of the landshells - with nice phoros and with good nomenclature
and systematic). There the current names of the European species are used full with
authors and year of description. The photos are really well done and it's a nice handbook
if you forget the part of the European marine shells.
