Are we talking reef books, or regular books?

reef books, i was just wondering if anyone was ready a really good one they might want to suggest. I just finished Aquarium Corals By Eric H. Borneman it was really good.

Conscientious Aquariust I hear is quite good.

Are there any specific reef related topics that interest you? E.g. coral propagation, culture production, etc?

Maybe this (http://www.amazon.com/Book-Coral-Propagation-Gardening-Aquarists/dp/0971637105/ref=pd_sim_b_shvl_img_20/102-6942723-5242559) (but my, is it REALLY $200?) or this (http://www.amazon.com/Finding-Nemo-Sticker-Book-Publishing/dp/0789492458/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-6942723-5242559?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193237810&sr=1-2) (considerably cheaper).

lol, me too, Catherine. Stickers! Wheee....

Jason, I was pretty sure Amazon was a rip-off. $200? It's like a college textbook. Of course...it probably *could* be a college textbook.

I can't be a college textbook...I tried to order it through my bookstore a while ago with no luck...I was sad...

Second or third The 'Book of Coral Propagation" along with 'The Conscientious Marine Aquarist".

"Reef Invertebrates" by Calfo and Fenner also good for what's in the title as well as section for refugiums and live filters (macro), still hoping for more of the series. Just have volume 1 of the "Marine Atlas" by Debelius and Baennsch but like it as well.
