This book is the ultimate reference guide to the strangely colored and shaped Cypraea that are found in the waters off New Caledonia. As well as being a superb photographic guide to some of the most extreme shells of this type it also offers a history of these shells, a look at some of the causes of this phenomenon, and notes on collecting these shells. The authors assembled what was the foremost collection at the time of these shells and probably give us the most authoritative view of this subject that has ever appeared in print.
