The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments! 

Introducing us to a wide variety of the 250 species of sharks, the same author-artist team that collaborated on the popular Album of Dinosaurs and Album of Prehistoric Animals joins forces on this book.  Together, Tom McGowen and Rod Ruth take us well beyond the shark stereotype.  While no book on the subject would be complete without such fierce killers as the great white shark and the hammerhead, so it would be lacking without sharks like the sluggish wobbegong and the huge though practically harmless whale shark.  Large and small, treacherous and gentle –the variety of sharks presented here is great.
