Books

I know that in this current technology driven age I'm strange but I like books.  Are there any books on the hobby in general,  cichlids of the rift lakes, SA/CA cichlids,  dwarfs, etc. that any of you would recommend?

Thanks

Dan I have this one here and really like it http://www.amazon.com/Malawi-Cichlids-Tanzania-Andreas-Spreinat/dp/3931328007

Don't look at the price on that link though, I found mine brand new on ebay for $10 so it can be found much cheaper than the one in the link.

Cool. Thanks Steve.

The Aqualog series are decent for SA/CA cichlids, although some are out of date as species get re-classified.

There was a guy who was working on publishing a book specifically on CA cichlids but I'm not sure if it ever got off the ground.

Personally as far as the hobby in general I really like the books with a single page for each species and a description of size, habitat, etc.  I can look up the names of some I have later when I'm home.

That would be great.  Thank you.

Malawi Cichlids in their Natural Habitat is a favorite of mine. I have the third addition - haven't seen the fourth edition, but I believe that's the most current version.

The Back to Nature books are good.
