Title: 40+ years and still useful!
Review: As a bibliophile I usually look through the older books of a particular genre to get a firm, well-expressed foundation of the subject. I don't think I would ever have discovered this book had it not been available at the public library. The content knowledge is evident from the writers' descriptions and narratives. A superb chapter is an account by an amateur aquarist of the lives of a community of Olives in her care. The photography is among the best I've seen in any book, full-size and color true. No out of focus images here. A team of a medical doctor and a production manager, with others, made this a book I had to have and Amazon filled the bill.I had a recent shipment of Olive Shells from South America that were not in any of the recent publications; but they were in this one! So it's a working book, not an antique relegated to the ends of the shelf. This delightful book has 96 pages of useful data to complement any collection.
