This book has is the result of a ten year effort by Dr.Simone (curator of Malacology section, Zoological Museum of Sao Paulo Univ.)who has gathered the information and the images found in this book from museum collections around the world. He has been able to illustrate the type specimens for most of the shells included in this book. For the first time you will be able to compare your shells with this type material which will make identification of the shells quite certain.
