Ged Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I got my personal copy from AOA as well some other books. The school also purchased a copy from Cichlid Press Australia. I found it well worth the read. I found it hard at first locating species in a number of different habitats but quickly got my head around it.

ZULU Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Ged, One great advantage is teaching your hobby. I guess you don't mind reading up on the textbooks. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfoster Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I got a brand new copy via ebay still in shrink wrap sent from the US for $90!!!! Perfect condition. A great book for any interested in the Malawis I have read it about 4 times so far, and constantly pick it up when looking at fish profiles on the web.

MikeWs Fish Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 90 bucks!?!?! That's absurdly cheap! I had a sniff around on ebay but nobody was offloading them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Mike I recently sold a few on the forums for under $100 each - Lepperfish picked up the last of mine on eBay as a matter of fact. And scored it a little bit cheaper than the forum buyers (which meant a slight loss to me but I'm over it) I got several books over from an eBay seller, and due to being labelled as a taxable item instead of as a gift (as I was assured they would be), I had to pay import taxes so a few pre-arranged buyers (no profit for me included) had a hissy fit and wouldn't pay me the extra $7.40 per book. You should have been quicker on the draw!! On a quick scan though, I found several on eBay just now for less than $100 to be imported. Don't restrict your search to items located in Australia.

BlakeyBoyR Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Also try amazon.com. Postage is dear but some of the second hand items are so rediculously cheap that it doesnt matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
