Using original Victorian prints, by collectable artist George Sowerby, naturalist and author Dr Paul Chambers has produced the first comprehensive guide to shells for over a century.
The original prints are intricately detailed (much better than photographs which lack the exact detail of these drawings) and are a selling point in themselves but will be complemented by informative but accessible text, including families and to show what's edible, dangerous or belongs to mollusc families and in what part of the country they can be discovered.
