The book raffle after Steve Pro's presentation on July 1 in Tallmadge will offer three books or sets of books. The first two tickets drawn each get their choice in the order drawn. The third book becomes a library book, or may be recycled if it's already in the library.

What books would you like to see in the raffle? Extremely expensive multi-volume sets are out unless a deal can be worked. Here are some possibilities that are already on hand.

Which three of these books would you prefer?

Allen's Damselfishes of the World, a large format "coffee table" book that contains both reef habitat and aquarium needs data on each species photographed.

Moe's Breeding the Orchid Dottyback,by one of the hobby's elder statemen, this book logs the breeding of the title species in a room the size of an unfinished bathroom. Holds some great and sometimes unorthodox and funny tips.

Dr. Chris Andrews's Hobbyist Guide to Marine Fish & Invertebrates, contains wide ranging chapters on aspects of the topic, but it's not a field guide or compilation of species.

Fatheree's Getting Into Mini-Reefs, it covers the basics and has plenty of text, somthing sometimes crowded out of fish books by all the great pictures. This book has both.

and even,

Theil's original edition of The Marine Fish and Invert Reef Aquarium. Published in Feb. '88, this was one of the books racing to be the earliest comprehensive reef book. A collector's item, it shows how far we've come, and also some the things that really haven't changed much.
