Thanks for the feedback on the questions. It was a loaded topic, wasn't
it?
Here is another request for help with books:
Does anyone have RTA's "Seashells of North America" in either the
waterproof or a Spanish edition? Following a friend's very good
suggestion, I would like to have something to show the locals when I get
down to Hondo, to help explain what I am looking for. (I'd take my old
copy but it has an inscription from Tucker and I don't want to have it get
wet.) Will buy or trade for shells, lit, etc.
That reminds me! I have going through my things trying to lighten the load
for the move. I wonder if anyone might be interested in these books? They
are all in flawless condition. I'd like to trade for Cypraea or
literature.
- Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Seashells. First edition.

color i.d. plates. 566 species described, with habitat notes and range.

Please respond privately if you can help with SSNA or are interested in the
books
