Another good mussel book:

Unionid Mussels in Kansas, by Harold D. Murray and A. Byron Leonard,
Museum of Natural History, University of Kansas, Lawrence, 184 pp., 1962
(but was available through the 1980s). Photographs in B&W but good info on
distribution, descriptions of shells, ecology, fish hosts, maximum size)

A regional guide to invertebrates (with mussel species and snail families):

Guide to the Freshwater Invertebrates of the Midwest, ed. by D.G.
Huggins, P.M. Liechti, and L.C. Ferrington, State Biological Survey of
Kansas, Lawrence, 1981 (pretty generic but a bargain at $ 3.00)

And, I shouldn't forget to mention R.W. Pennak's book, Fresh-water
invertebrates of the United States, an indisensable book if you are
interested in the critters that live alongside the fish that we fancy! You
can find the book at http://www.acornnaturalists.com/p14033.htm. It's a bit
expensive at $109.95 but worth it. Earlier editions are sometimes found in
used book stores and are worth owning if you want to save a few bucks.
