Paleonet: Rare Palaeoconchology / conchology texts: 2nd circular

[Anthony Butcher]

Dear all,
 
As the asking prices were rather high previously for the books that my colleague is selling, he has decided to reduce the asking price for all of them, in order to facilitate a quick sale.
 
Please contact me off-list at anthony.butcher at port.ac.uk if you would like any further info.
 
(NOTE: TO THE PALEONET MODERATOR: Please be assured I am not a bookseller trying to cheekily tap into a ready-made list- we are only doing this for the collection of books that my colleague here at Portsmouth wishes to part with on his retirement, and we thought they would be of interest to many members of the list).
 
Best wishes,
 
Anthony Butcher.

Essais de Paleoconchologie Comparee  1895 -1925  13 volumes
Maurice Cossmann  Privately printed
Vols 4,6 & 7 Photocopies: all others in miscellaneous bindings.
A very rare work.  I have tried for 40 years to assemble a full set and this is the result.
This is the definitive work by one of France’s conchologists and palaeoconchologists in which he lists all known gastropod genera and species of that time.
