Come to ACA 2008 for new and used cichlid books (multiple vendors + silent auctions + get your books signed by the authors). Its really the only place to actually see and touch a great selection of cichlid books before buying. I like the Dwarf cichlids:American Cichlids 1 by Staeck. For africans I like several books by Loiselle & Koenigs. I do like aqualog also. Shop @ fishbookstore.com if you can't come to ACA, but the vendor rooms are free to visit. http://www.fishbookstore.com/product...e5b725e1718905

Most of my basic books are hopelessly out of date (and AWOL).

One other thought, I'm pretty sure the AAAA has a library members can borrow books from.

lohachata, post the link. I think P125 is in the Atlanta area, but give me something for my cichlid bookmark collection.

Smart idea, its really hard to come to ACA and not bring home fish. The fulton county library only has one cichlid book.

Most Barnes & Nobles locations have quite a good selection of fish books. Most Borders locations don't.
