I ADORE shells of all kinds and have been a sheller for years. This book was very helpful in identifying many of the shells I have that I wasn't able to name!

Trying to identify some of the shells we have collected over the years.
Returned to the library. Probably good to have this type of book as a resource. This particular one was text heavy, with lots of info to sort through. Not super kid friendly.

National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Seashells by Harold A. Rehder (Alfred A. Knopf 1981) (594+/-). This is a simple identification guide to North American seashells. My rating: 7/10, finished 2006.
