Recommendations for Saltwater Handbooks

[vanquish]

Any one have any recommendations for books for people beginning Saltwater aquariums? Uberlink recommended The Conscientious Marine Aquarist: A Commonsense Handbook for Successful Saltwater Hobbyists by Robert Fenner. I was just wondering what people think of this book, and if anyone else had any other input on good books I could get for a reasonable price on Amazon. Thanks!

Also, any thoughts on The New Marine Aquarium: Step-By-Step Setup & Stocking Guide by Michael S. Paletta?

Any one ever read either of these books? or have ideas on other books?

I've got a copy of "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist: A Commonsense Handbook for Successful Saltwater Hobbyist" I thought it was very good in helping me set up my tank and select my first inhabitants.
I dont need it anymore and ill sell it to you if you want it. Its in perfect condition. I think amazon has them for like 24$ used... ill give it to you for 20 shipped.

Hey thanks! e-mail me at coolbob2000@hotmail.com Amazon is selling it used for $20.35 w/o shipping, but I'd rather buy it from a fellow aquarist. If you want a cool $20 to sell and ship it i'll buy.
