New books on Catfish for 2008

[Quixotic]

Heads up, a couple of new books on catfishes published in 2008.

Book 1
http://www.backtonature.nu/l-catfishes.php
Title: Back to Nature guide to L-catfishes
Author: Ingo Seidel
Publishing year: 2008

Those who are into catfish should be familiar with the author, Ingo Seidel. Some of his other publications include Mergus Catfish Atlases Vol 1 & 2 and Datz All L Numbers. There is a search engine incorporated in the website to find what L-numbers are suitable for your aquarium, although the search results are absolutely summarised. The synopsis on the chapters and species description sounds pretty good.

[Quixotic]

Amazon, Aquabid, eBay... Perform a search on Google, you should be able to find lots of merchants. Don't know which one has the best deals though.

Stuporman,

the books must have costed a bomb.

Possible to share which website did you buy the books from?

[Quixotic]

By the way, is the second book in english.

Second book comes in English and German versions. The title for the German edition would be "Die Welse Afrikas".

[Stuporman]

I bought the first book from Amazon.com for US$34.99+shipping (it is now temporarily out of stock there as I bought the last copy), and the second from animalbook.de for €90+shipping.
