While "micros" and "minis" have a small-but-devoted following, i
heartily agree that they do indeed get neglected - especially by people
making shell books (Mya Keen excepted!!), which just perpetuates the
cycle, since many folks simply don't want species they can't identify -
no matter HOW beautiful they are!! (of course, there are others, bless
them all, who can appreciate beauty even without a moniker!).  So, to
all who are considering doing a good job on a shell book, coffee-table
sized or not, PLEASE don't forget that many good things come in small
packages :-)
