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.
