Nearly 3 years in the making, it's finally here everyone!

There are so many brilliant people involved which I hope makes this book stand out to you all!

  • We have award winning illustrator and ichthyologist Dorian Noël who has illustrated every living species of Polypteridae, along with reconstructions of four extinct species, three of which have never been reconstructed before!

  • Georgina Blusch who did those amazing digital illustrations you may have seen in earlier drafts.

  • Dr. Pedro Rizzato a comparative biologist specialising in Polypteridae, for his detailed scientific revision.

  • Prof. Emily Standen who raised bichirs on land in a famous scientific experiment, contributed a write-up on bichirs in science.

  • Prof. Olaf Weyl from the IUCN-FFSG gives his thoughts in the foreword.

and so many more fantastic people ranging from biologists, paleontologists, ecologists, fishers, veterinarians and aquarists! Hopefully there's something in the book for everyone!

Here are some sample pages:

I got my Bichir Handbook today and what a wonderful book! I glanced through it for over an hour and very well done though I'm going to need a magnifier to read some of the smaller type print, darn my old eyes!

Thank you Josh's Fish Josh's Fish !

I'm amazed how quick some people are receiving it, yours was only shipped out 2 days ago and I'm hearing some people in US and Canada have already got their copies, it should have took around 2 weeks haha.

Glad you like it, excited for people to finally be getting it! All the best mate :)
 
Actually my email said it shipped 12/4 but still it was under a week.

Nah that was when they booked and printed the label, they didn't even have the signed copies from me then. It didn't leave the hub until Tuesday. Bulks were sent out Monday to retailers, then early pre-orders went out Tues.
