Plankton Stratigraphy OP

[N.MacLeod@xxxxxxxxx (N. MacLeod)]

I have recently been informed by John Saunders that the book "Plankton
Stratigraphy," edited by H. M. Bolli, J. B. Saunders, and K. Perch-Nielsen,
is scheduled to go out of print in the immediate future. Plankton
Stratigraphy is the standard reference for planktonic microfossil
biostratigraphy. It may be some time before such a comprehensive compendium
is available again. Therefore, if you've been putting off buying a copy,
don't do it much longer. Paperback copies of the book are conveniently
broken into separate calcareous and siliceous volumes (with a chapter on
ichthyoliths thrown in for good measure). It's a true classic and, given
the advantages of electronic databases, it may be the last book of this
kind published in the field of micropaleontology (at least in the
traditional sense of the term).
