What shell books do I use?

I get asked this question quite a lot so I figured why not create a blog post that answers that question. I’ll keep this short and sweet. Pictured here are all the books I currently use and below the photos is a list of books I’m looking into purchasing that were just recently suggested to me. Also, I’ve listed websites I use. Got a book you’d like to suggest? Feel free to leave a comment.


The open book (lost the book jacket) is the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Seashells.

Books on my list to purchase:

  • Seashells of Southern Florida: Living Marine Mollusks of the Florida Keys and Adjacent Regions: Bivalves by Paula M. Mikkelsen and Rudiger Bieler
  • Bahamian seashells: A thousand species from Abaco, Bahamas by Colin Redfern
  • Encyclopedia of Texas Seashells: Identification, Ecology, Distribution, and History (Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies Series) by Tunnell Jr., John W., Andrews, Jean, Barrera, Noe C, Moretzs
