These are all hardcover books in mint condition. Dust Jackets in great condition too.
(these can go for up to $80 for each volume!! In fact, I have seen single volumes go for $100 each at our local auctions.)

$200/obo

I am grudgingly listing this last book. I will be firm on the price because it is by far my favorite cichlid book, favorite author and program speaker Ad Konings. In fact, he signed this book "To Tony, enjoy your cichlids! My favorite is Aul. baenschi Ad Konings and he commemorated the event we were attending: "Farmington (NEC) Apr. 7, 2006 (this was in Connecticut).
Book has some minor wear on the binding but the book is in overall great condition.

11) Ad Konings Book Of Cichlids And All The Other Fishes Of Lake Malawi~$100/firm

Books?  Are these the things people read before Kindle? When there still was a Borders, Windows XP?  Now lets be serious that Datz L-numbers is that in English or German?

I agree, one of the best "smaller" books out there. I would love to see an expanded hardcover edition.

LOL Mike, you need to put whatever it is you're smoking down and step away.
