Description

1981, published by National Museum of Natural Sciences, Ottawa, Canada, hard cover with printed dust jacket, 446 pages, about 6½ by 9½ inch size (16 by 24 cm.), black and white photographs and distribution maps of all 179 species with 16 additional watercolor plates of 53 species that were painted for this book
Although this book is now old, it is still the standard work on the freshwater molluscs found in Canada. Arthur Clark served as Curator of Molluscs and head of the Invertebrate Zoology Department of the Museum of National Sciences in Ottawa between 1959 and 1976. He was considered to be the world's expert in these shells. The black and white photos are very clear, and they are easy to use. The color plates, paintings commissioned for this book, are beautiful as well as very detailed. Clark's descriptions are thorough and easy to understand. I am surprised that this is the first copy of this book that we've had. I know that we will be trying to add a few more of these superb books to our inventory. This copy is used, but is in overall very nice condition. There is some shelf ware at the edges of the dust jacket and a rubber-stamped name of the previous owner on the half-title page.
