Book Reviews

This page shows the last ten reviews added in both categories, in date order. Click here to see the whole list.There are many books available to the aquarist and it is beyond the scope (and ken) of this site to cover them all. What you will find here is a range of general aquarium books and catfish only publications. We provide personal reviews on each; nobody should judge a book by its cover! We hope this information will help if you are unable to browse through a book before purchase. On the review pages, prices quoted are in UK pounds sterling (£) and are included to provide value for money comparisons only. The edition column states the edition of the book reviewed, not the latest edition available.
