"Beautiful Shells of New Zealand" by Edward George Britton Moss is an illustrated guide written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a practical resource for amateur collectors interested in New Zealand's marine shells, providing insights on identification, collection, and preservation techniques. The book focuses on the rich variety of marine shells found along New Zealand's coast, which reflects the author's passion for conchology and his desire to enhance the enjoyment and understanding of this hobby among readers. The opening of the book provides a preface in which the author recounts the common struggles of young collectors to identify the beautiful shells they find along the New Zealand coast. Moss emphasizes the significance of knowledge in enriching the experience of collecting, noting that proper identification and preservation can transform shells into cherished additions to one's home. He outlines the scope of the book, which will address various aspects of collecting marine shells, including practical instructions for cleaning and maintaining them, and he hints at the vast diversity of over four hundred marine shell varieties to be covered in subsequent chapters. Through this introductory context, the author sets the stage for a deeper exploration into the fascinating world of New Zealand's shell life.
