Seashells of the Northern Hemisphere by R Tucker Abbott is the essential hardcover reference for beachcombers and marine-life buffs who want to identify, collect, and appreciate coastal treasures from Arctic to tropics. Abbott, one of the twentieth century’s most respected malacologists, packs hundreds of detailed illustrations alongside concise habitat notes, turning each page into a guided shoreline walk.
This 1991 first edition arrives with its original dust jacket and all plates intact, giving hobbyists and students a vintage volume that still outshines many modern guides. Pages are crisp, unmarked, and tightly bound, free from smoke or library markings, so the color shells pop exactly as intended.
Expect gentle edge wear and light sun-fading on the jacket—small chips that speak of decades perched on a shelf, ready for a new window overlooking the sea. Clean margins mean no surprises inside, making it a reliable field companion or a handsome display piece for the cabin or office.
Collectors searching for Abbott seashell books, nature textbooks, or illustrated hardcovers on marine mollusks will find this copy a sturdy, affordable addition to any home library.
