RE: Scheel's Atlas available on eBay
Now, I wonder why TFH still making money and being the biggest publisher of
animals books. Is this mean they can fooled majority of the people?
Advanced printing technology? Where are the compettitors? These are
complaint, not questions, really.

Really ? Have a look at the lowermost figure and caption on page 20, for
starters. Quite a few of the Notho names are incorrect to say nothing of
misspellings of well-established species names and inconsistencies in
identification. There is also a picture of a Notho that has a well developed
case of velvet (and which is obviously not there to illustrate the disease).
The editing of this book was extremely sloppy.
