I know or at least hope I'm not the only Reefkeeper out there that has some investment in 'Old School' non-digital formatted information storage units better known as 'BOOKS'. Here is my collection below, going back to the mid 70's when I worked at a LFS. When I started doing some of the ordering (both FW and SW) everything that came in from the Wholesalers/Trans shippers on FAX was listed primarily by their scientific names so ended up purchasing the whole 'Pacific Marine Fishes' 10-Book series and have added many over the years.


My collection or library.... for now

Books? What are these things of which you speak?

Actually, I only have Borneman's Aquarium Corals and Sprung's Corals: A Quick Reference Guide​.

Let's see at least a few more additions to this Thread, must be a handful of Reefkeepers who still buy and/or desire BOOKS



Cheers, Todd

OMG, I've been too 'scared' to post my Old School books going back to the 70's, shy about that, don't want haters hating on my old "sthuff", but working as a manager at 2 LFS's , where the consortium of owners for both locations were animal docs. We had to know our stuff. I have most packed away, so digging them out now. (Some didn't make it out of the house in the divorce; but I'll post what I have after the week is over. Some of the advice in retrospect, absolutely shows how far the hobby has come!TFS.

I may be able to step up the volume and post what I have out and add to it on the weekend.
