There's more than three, I believe there are at least 5. But the
English translations are slow to come. Also, I believe that
volumes 3 and 4 are on marine species. Is there are 3rd FW volume
available in English yet? BTW, for the scope of the books, I
don't think they're expensive... they're no "coffee table"
books!<g>

Thanks to a good friend, I have a copy of the second book. The
photos, if anything, are even more beautiful, but the text is very
similar to the first. There are short descriptions of each tank,
but not much about his techniques.

And I bet he could _still_ take better pictures than most of us
with an Instamatic.<g>
