this book has it's good and bad points. It does cover lot's of shells found in Texas. It gives good scientific info as to each shells class and family.

My main areas that I was disappointed were:

1-the regions (city, county, beach) etc was NOT specific enough, as well as what would be the best time of the year of what region is best to find each shell.

2-no color photos! In my opinion-very important for different shell identifaction.

3-I was also surprised there was no section that gave an indepth guide to areas of high shell concentrations-where to find shells and when's the best time of the year to go look.

this is my only specifically Texas shell id book-but I have the idea that there are probably better ones out there. It may be that it's just an older book.

OK for the price (used here on Amazon) and a good "jumping off point" for Texas shell id. I will be looking for more, possibly better books though.

4 stars.
