Title: Disappointed with 1981 version
Product review: I did not realize there were more editions of this book and, consequently, the book I received is the 1981 version. The pictures are not sharp and are very small in many cases making identification difficult. The shells are grouped together, many on a page, and the background colors often blend with the shells. Although this book is better than any I found at our local library, I cannot recommend the 1981 edition of this book and will be ordering the 1989 edition. It appears the 1981 edition has a black dust cover and the 1989 edition has a blue dust cover.
