[and] highly-recommended.”” * Choice *”[A] lovely book.”—Nick and Caroline Robertson-Brown, Scubaverse“The quality of the photographs is excellent, as is the quality of production of the book, and it is gratifying to see so many images of living animals as opposed to just the shells. These images alone make the book worth buying… . I would definitely recommend this book to collectors who wish to extend their knowledge of the biology of molluscs.”—Julian Joseph, Pallidula“Of interest to specialists and non-specialists alike, with well-organised informative content and abundant colourful and striking illustrations.”—Dr. A. M. Mannion, The Biologist
