Shells are architecture, and George Sowerby's manual is the blueprint. A working guide to the classes and genera of mollusks, it arms the collector with the vocabulary and system to name what washes up on the shore. Illustrated, methodical, and built for the shelf beside the specimen cabinet. The classic key to a lifetime of shells.

Includes read-aloud narration with live word highlighting.
