Book any good?

[kelly]

I picked up a copy of SeaScope at my LFS, in the summer 2001 issue, the have a book review of "Aquarium Corals - Selection, Husbandry and Natural History" by Eric H. Borneman. Has anyone purchased, or looked at this book at the book store or their LFS? It has 12 chapters, and seems to cover alot of subjects. They however do not recommend bristle worms (and fire worms). It stated the they "eat virtually any sedentary invertebrate, but are particularly fond of Euphyllia and all types of soft corals.", later on it tells of their good points too.
The article looks review looks pretty good. I guess I will have to go to the book store next week, and take a look at it. No price mentioned in the article.
Thanks in advance for any info on the book.

Kelly, does it have a green hammer coral all over the front?If so it is a great book.I read through it all the time and have learned alot from it.Plus it's got all kinds of pics.Gives alot of technical info as well as info for the not so scientifically inclined(me).I will say it is pretty expensive but in my eyes well worth the money.

Predator and Sammystingray,
It hast the hammer coral on the front thanks for the quick response. I guess off to Amazon.com to check prices. All my books are old, I guess if I am going to get up to date and learn a little more, it would not hurt to spend a little money on good reference materials. I try to keep up to date on many different saltwater sites, but after 6-10 hrs a day in front of the monitor, I need a break from the computer.
Thanks again.
Kelly
