Ross,

Putting your book on the web for all at no charge is a great gesture,
thanks.  Personally, I am glad I got a hard copy when I did.  Some of us,
even though we use all sorts of electronic devices, still like to have that
wood pulp to handle.  So now I guess I will burn a disk with the Adobe
formatted book and have both.  For any who haven't seen the book, Ross has
superb images of many common and some very uncommon shells from west
Florida.
