Our first book will be The Conscientous Marine Aquarist by Robert M. Fenner.

We will try to notify each author as we review their books.

I would like to order it (if you are talking about a group order

) If you found a good deal, please post the link.

I have a (well-worn) copy, and if anybody lives near me (Riverdale/Yonkers border) and would like to share my copy, you're welcome to pm me! We can do the study-group thing...

Im in for a GB if you guys want but i dont know how much youll save on a $25 item witha group buy.

Also when are we officially starting this thing?

picking a book is harder than I thought it would be.
reef books are not like novels

it's hard to find common
ground to start with. I read the Fenner book a while ago, I was
hoping for a different book. Perhaps we have two books as
someone else suggested? We can also look at books that are not
strict how to, or reference books. I don't have any suggestions right now

I just wanted to throw the idea out there. The books can be on things or
people that are related to reefs. If the majority of book nerds want to get started asap and fenner is the book that's okay, we can use the time while discussing to come up with some great choices for the next book

Price is not an issue for me. As long as not ALL of the books are big money.

I think we should look at what books we are interested in.- see which we are doing now and in the future- that way if someone (such as jhale) has read one, he can look forward to the next one.

RIF... count me in...

I've read Fenner as well, but it is a great book. I imagine we will be hard pressed to find a book none of us have read.

Hi I am new here. I saw that this was about books and I just read a great book. Its called Water Chemistry for the Marine Aquarium by John H. Tullock. And is published by Barrons. I picked it up on Amazon for real cheap. Check it out if you havent allready!

**ellebelle** · 02-27-2007, 08:09 PM

Well Jon, is there a book you'd like to suggest?

not yet I need time to look, but I'll go along with what you guys want if there's a majority that likes one book.
