Hi, everyone, I am so pleased to hear you are interested in Japanese shell book. I have almost all of Japanese shell books. But some items have been become very expencive. I don't have "The Seashells of the World I and II" which was wrote by Shikama and Horigoshi, in 1963, 1964. They are so good books which have many pictures of shells. And the descriptions of the shells are also interesting. In Japan, the shell books are not be published so frequently. So every Japanese collectors use the Kira's book and Habe's book which They are even re-printed by 57 times! I hope many new shell books will be published in the future. Especially in Japan. By the way, my site has been updated. http://www.soft.ics.keio.ac.jp/~huang/cgi-bin/seashells.cgi Best wishes, - Jiongtao http://www.soft.ics.keio.ac.jp/~huang/ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
