Hi everybody,
Even entering a thread that is already closed, I'd like to add my two
centavos.
I ordered a Millard's book to Naturama and Riccardo kindly told me that it
was available in the net. More than happy, I downloaded it and while talking
about Millard's book with a friend, he said something like: "forget it, it's
full of errors". I also talked with a couple of friends and they had the
very same opinion.
So, I'm still using the good ol' Vaughn book on taxonomy classification.
I'd appreciate to receive the opinion of our taxonomy brains.
All the best,
Eduardo

Hi Ankistro,
Check this out, I think you'll dig it! I posted this a few days ago
in
reference to the Millard book...
Hi All,
... It can also be downloaded free of
cost from the S.I.M. (Society of Italian Malacologists)homepage.
Look under
the Services category. Click on Downloads, and it will move you to a
page of
useful tools and the Millard work. I've found it to be a very useful
text,
even though the index is not included with the free download. Using
the "Find"
command with the file open is very quick...considering the book is
over 500pp.

I converted my downloaded copy from rtf into a Word6 document, made
a few
changes in the format to make it easier to read, and am well pleased
with the result.
