ln the foreword to this book the author writes that ”This work is not and does not pretend to be a thorough revision of the malacofauna of the Greek seas. It is a useful photographic guide provided that it is utilised in combination with other sources of information. While the book must be considered in the light of this statement, the statement belittles a work which may be considered a major addition to the available identification guides to Mediterranean shells. The author spent the period from 2005 to 2011 intensively collecting specimens, particularly by diving and sieving soft substrate, largely in the Gulf of Thermaikos. This provided the core of specimens figured, though these have been supplemented with specimens from elsewhere in Greece. Bilingual in English and Greek.
