    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
    Number of pages: 208
    Format: 170x240 mm
    Hardcover: Yes
    Number of color photos: More than 640
    ISBN: 978-9189258112

    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.

    Book 2
    http://www.tetra-verlag.de/
    Title: The Catfishes of Africa
    Author: Dr. Lothar Seegers
    Publishing year: 2008
    Number of pages: 608
    Format: 15.8 x 24 cm
    Hardcover: Yes
    Number of color photos: More than 1100
    ISBN: 978-3-89745-191-9

    One of the websites selling the book, with a short introduction, http://www.animal-book.de/shop/produ...s--Lothar.html

    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.

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

    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.
