Hi.  My copy is right here and I'll try to describe these things:

It's  Living Volutes: A Monograph of the Recent Volutidae of the
World by Clifton Stokes Weaver and John Eleuthere duPont.
Monograph series # 1.  Published by Delaware Museum aof Natural
History, Greenville, Delaware, 19807.   Library of Congress card #
74-119744.
Publication date 1970.

Off set color reproducations by the Book Engraving Co., Phildelphia
Printed at Kingsport Press, Kingsport, TN.  Desiged and edited by James
H. Weidner Associates, Cinnaminisen, NJ.

There is a separate color plates section beginning on p. 187 -
I count 79 plates each on an odd number page. The even numbered
page describes each shell depicted.

There are 375 pages, including an index, bibliography, the color plates,
foreward, acknowledgements,introduction, abbreviations, T of C. The book
is
organized by subfamily under the family volutidae.

The hardcover book has a dark blue (navy) cover with gold imprinting.

Hope this helps.  Let me know if you need more.
