Bivalves of Australia vol. 2

Bivalves of Australia Vol. 2
Kevin Lamprell & John Healy 1998
This book has been long awaited by those who are interested in bivalves. Volume 1 of the series covers the families of larger shells, and those that are most favoured by collectors.
This volume covers 72 families, which range from the economically important such as the Mytilidae or Pteriidae, to the minute, such as the Philobryidae.

There are many plates of excellent quality, and the text faces the plates, a marked advantage if you are trying to identify something. The book also deals with freshwater bivalves, and indeed every bivalve ever known to have been recorded from Australia.
