I think I still have my copy of Marine Aquarium Handbook by Martin Moe
 
I have a DK encyclopedia of aquarium and pond fish from the early 2000's, it's what got me into the hobby as a kid

ere are a few of mine. That is a partial of the Tropical Fish Hobbyist collection dating back to the Eighties. I also have Freshwater and Marine Aquarium (FAMA) and The Aquarium mags.
 
The book by W. T. Innes is from around the 30's.
 


I think I had all of them since the hobby started right after WW2.

Of course I have my own Log Book from 1971, but I doubt that counts. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

 
Innes for me was the bible when I had my s. American cichlids for many years. Axelrod books however were very low level to be politically correct
 
A little info for those who collect books and magazines, go to the site Aquabid.com. They have a section where people sell old books and magazines.
