Sowerby's Book of Shells
1990 edition of Sowerby’s book of Shells by G. B. Sowerby, Jr. Includes additional prints taken from Dictionnaire Universal d’Histoire Naturelle by Charles d’Orbigny.
“Originally published in 1852 as A Conchological Manual, this wonderfully comprehensive study of shells, including more than 700 illustrations in full color and black and white, entices the reader into a world of beauty, and the quiet contemplation of some of the smaller, but no less wonderful, creations of nature.”
In good vintage condition; the dust jacket has wear to the front and back edges, however interior is clean, unmarked, and in great condition.
Measures 11 ¼” x 10 ¼”.

I do my best to photograph all flaws and mention them in the description. Please look closely at all photos and check the description and measurements. I will not approve refunds on vintage items unless they are lost or damaged during shipment.
