Dear Flavio (and others),

I can only second Paul Monfils' opinion : a nice book for starters but you
are very quickly at the point were you have a common shell in your
collection NOT figured in this book. As for the price : in Belgium you can
purchase it for about 1000 bef or 25 US $, which is not expensive. Consider
the book as a very nice gift-item for a beginning collector...

Best greetings,

Jan Haspeslagh
