We express our deep gratitude to Mr. Zuvanović. Also, many thanks to Professor Šeper, Croatian mathematician,
for his hospitality and for having taken us to such a wonderful place.
Rev. Željko Zuvanović is not only a great connoisseur of sea shells, but also of wines and cooking as well.
Rev. Željko Zuvanović has published several very interesting books. He is also a gifted writer and singer,
as well as a fine cook. We draw your attention to his luxorous book entitled The Beautiful Shells.
It is nice to see a priest with such a deep knowledge about the life and biology of sea shells.
We express our deep gratitude to the hospitality of rev. Željko Zuanović.
