Does anybody read books anymore?

You must be rich to be able to afford that, as good as it is it costs a fortune here.
Dad got a subscription online for my 16th birthday, it has since expired. It's much cheaper like this

Must resub to Amazonas, an amazing publication made in Germany.

Amazonas is a pretty cool publication. The pics and articles are great.

I'd love a nice encyclopedia of cichlid or catfish profiles but sadly no physical book that I can find is even remotely close to cichlid forum or planetcatfish. I still have some smaller books on my shelf that I used when I was getting into the hobby, but they're mostly decorative now.
 
The Aqua Log books are a great resource for I.D, there are a number of photos of each species, so color differences coming from mood changes, and locations variants are important.
Not much in the way of detailed info though.
I often use them as a reference check when I.D.ing questions are posed.

But ia have built a library over the years, when books become available, at prices I can afford, and use the actual books, quite often.
Everything from Veterinary text books, to regions, to evolutionary theories.


I started seriously collecting books in the mid 80s.
 
Dr. axelrod's atlas of freshwater fish is great. Huge hardcover atlas of tons of fish, similar to the ones duanes posted above. I got one when I was young and I remember searching through the pages for days just looking at all the different fish.
