Since this important work was issued over a seven year period it seldom is offered as a complete set. The four bound volumes contain all of the American Museum Bulletins published in 1955, 1956, 1957 and 1959; each volume is 300 to 500 pages in length and contains 3 to 7 articles including one additional monograph on marine mollusks. The remaining three parts are in their original wrappers as issued. The bound volumes have the bookplate of the Reading Public Museum and a single ink name stamp on the title page and rear wrapper; these four volumes show no signs of use. The three parts in original wraps have no ownership marks and no signs of use. Extra shipping will be required due to the weight of the bound volumes.
