Those are your "latest" aquisitions, was someone having a clearing sale?

sounds like a great resource youve got. remember everybody ask Caryl!!

Think I'll go and check MY library

Good one caryl.

Now for you to find time to read them.

Alan

I have to read them??

I bought some off a friend, some were given to me and my daughter went shopping for me while in the USA.

Hi

Could we have a 600 word book reviews by the end of next week please hehe

Why don't you get back to designing fjords slartibartfast? :lol:

Perhaps I should offer to lend out the books in return for others doing reviews? Hmm...

and so Caryls library begins

This isn't just the begiining M as I have had a large collection for a long time now. I am a compulsive book buyer and our house is full of bookcases groaning at the weight. A quick tally of actual fish books came to over 90. I have no intention of adding up the nonfish books. None of this includes Grant's extensive collection of computer, electronic, amateur radio and car magazines.

Sadly I had a serious falling out with the mice and alas now the dolphins won't even talk to me :lol:

makes my 5 fish books seem a bit sad but I like them.

Quite the collection!

Quite an old post

I have added to the collection since then as well :roll:

i only have 2 books "the complete guide to fish keeping salt water and fresh"

"and how to choose your tropical fish"

What have you added Caryl? Anything along the line of plants/aquascaping and dwarf cichlids? :bounce:

I have the Amano book, of course, for plants.

The Cichlid Aquarium - Dr Paul Loiselle

The Complete Book of Dwarf Cichlids - Hans-Joachim Richter

and 7 Baensch Atlases.

All, except the latest Baensch's were in my previous list.

Could I borrow The Complete Book of Dwarf Cichlids and the Amano book please? :bounce: :happy1:

I'm trying to figure out the replacement value for my fish books that were ruined during the earthquake. Only 2 are available on NZ book webstores. The others I can fine on bookdepository or Amazon, but some are no longer available. My educated guess is they're worth about $30 each though. Hint: Don't keep your fish books next to the fish tank

Certainly Joe.
