Re: NFC: Out of Print Book
I have it...I actually got it from Barnes & Noble just a few months ago.
Are you sure they don't have a back-stock of it? Otherwise you may want to
check with Powell Books (out of Oregon) or abe books (only online). Both
are great used booksellers/brokers for just about anything you can think of.
Both can be accessed online.
I wouldn't search all that hard for this book. It was cheap & and had some
pretty okay info for the complete novice fishkeeper with a big budget.
Decent pictures. I thought it was extremely incomplete though and the
author's biases toward and against certain fish (largely based on his notion
of 'pretty') are pretty blatant.
can you tell I was dissappointed with this book ;)
If you're just looking for native fish books, I'd go to ABE books
(www.dogbert.abebooks.com) and run a search. You can really pick up some
fantastic deals there. I've ordered a lot of things & always had great luck
