Hi Roland: The rights to this book are for a new edition is held by: Jerry (M. G.) Harasewych, Curator, Department of Malacology Smithsonian Institute - US National Museum of Natural History It has been on hold for many years due to work load, and he will probably begin working on it once he retires in a few years. Leslie In a recent post it was mentioned that American Seashells 2nd is a good reference but is very rare. I've looked for a reasonably priced copy of this for years. Seems like this would be a good candidate for a re-printing or a 3rd edition. How about it, you booksellers and editors? I bet you could make money on this one. Roland Roland C. Anderson, PhD Puget Sound Curator
