Review: Great shell resource - Great book for North American seashell identification. Front half has lots of pictures and the back half is details about each entry. The index is set up to also serve as a checklist with small circles available to mark off your finds.
Review: National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Seashells (National Audubon Society Field Guides) - This is a real field guide, complete with tough plastic binding, but also a great reference book. I love the thumb tabs that use 24 silhouettes to group like-shaped shells. That feature alone gives this field guide top points in my experience. It's so easy to find any one of the approximately 700 North American Shells featured. But there's more, of course. Any shell enthusiast will appreciate the Audubon Society's expository texts on shells throughout history, the Phylum Moluslusca and its Classes, scientific and common names, illustrated descriptions of parts of shells, their orientations, all the basics, plus good, in-depth descriptive material on each shell including habitat and range. The appendices include a guide to shell collecting, cleaning, labeling, storing and conserving, a glossary, and an index that lets you check off the shells you have seen as well as the page numbers for their color plates and descriptive texts. A fine go-to book.
