Softcover. First Edition, First Printing. Octavo, vi, 71 pages. In Very Good minus condition. Covers are red paper with white lettering and decorations, moderately age toned with staple binding. Rubbing wear along edges of covers, along spine, at ends of spine, and at corners. Front cover shows several faint stains.

Dated "11/21/49" and inscribed in black ink on half title page: "Bill Bird - an "old hand" at all this. / Best / Bill". Inscription appears to be in the hand of William Carlos Williams, signing here as "Bill". Instances of Williams singing as "Bill" are extremely scarce, and was typically reserved for the signing of letters, very rarely used in book inscriptions. Williams had published one of his novels - The Great American Novel - through Bird's Three Mountains Press in 1923. This inscription's date nearly 30 years later, combined with Williams signing under the nickname "Bill", evidences a long and familiar relationship between the two men. Housed in a card-backed archival sleeve. SH Consignment. Shelved in Room A. . Bill Bird was an American publisher best known for running the Three Mountains Press, a small press that published many prominent modernists in the 1920s including Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, William Carlos Williams and Robert McAlmon, with Ezra Pound serving as editor. Over a period of two and a half years he published 9 works. Concurrently he founded Consolidated Press Service and worked there as a journalist from 1920-1933, when he joined the New York Sun as chief foreign correspondent. Forced to flee France after the Nazi invasion, he wrote articles warning of war. After WWII he moved to Tangier and was the editor of the Tangier Gazette. . 1403705. Special Collections.

This is a comprehensive accounting of the richest mussel fauna in the U.S. Alabama rivers and waterways are home to the largest and most diverse population of freshwater mussel species in the nation, roughly 60 per cent of U.S. mussel fauna. The Mobile River Basin, which drains portions of Tennessee, Georgia, and Mississippi waterways, also contains diverse mussel populations. However, many of these species have been significantly depleted in the last century due to habitat alteration (river damming, channelization, siltation), pollution, and invasive species, and many more are in imminent danger of extinction. The authors offer encyclopedic entries on each of the 178 mussel species currently identified in Alabama and the Mobile River Basin - the scientific and common names; a morphological description as well as color photographs of the shell appearance; analysis of the soft anatomy; information about ecology, biology, and conservation status; and, a color distribution map. With an extensive glossary of terms and full index, plus additional material on the archaeological record, a history of commercial uses of mussels, and the work of significant biologists studying these species, this volume is a long overdue and invaluable resource, not only for scholars of aquatic biology and zoology but also conservationists interested in the preservation of ecological diversity and protection of inland environments.
