Amazon seems to have it sorta:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0787232416/qid=1039101311/sr=8-
1/ref=sr_8_1/104-9448505-4319939?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

Used had a copy for $55.

This looked interesting too:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0867200170/ref=pd_sim_books_1/1
04-9448505-4319939?v=glance&s=books

Any of the others on the "People also purchased these" list worth looking
into?

And DOH! I didn't know your wish list told you which ones you purchased.
That's stinky. I guess my Mother in Law wasn't kidding when she said she
bought the priority "3" ones first because she thought those were higher
priority. <sigh> Looks like I'll have to buy my own mussel books. ;)

Sorry, Merritt and Cummins is not really a pocket guide. The KS
Biological Survey came out with a guide to the freshwater inverts of
the midwest. It is out of print, but you might be able to come
across it somewhere (eBay is where I found mine). It is a good
guide, and is not too big.
