NEW ~ The 1983 exhibit at the Museo de Artes e Industrias Populares highlighted concern about over-exploitation of the Murex and Purpura mollusks, harvested for their natural textile dyes.

Maps. Tables. Color photographs. Glossary / glosario. Bibliography / bibliografia. 164 pp. 1st reprint (2003) of the 1988 edition. Edition of 2000. En espanol / in Spanish. Dust jacket shows shelf wear especially to top edge and at spine, crease in back flap. Slight "seagulling" of the hard cover and a few inexplicable pink spots. Not a perfect copy--old inventory--but this book is very hard to find. In stock. Usually ships in three days.
