I have the book "Aquarium Corals" by Eric Borneman, which is a very good book, I might add. The question is does anyone have "The Reef Aquarium" I believe there are 4 volumes by Delbeek and Sprung, or "Corals Of The World"(3vol.set) by J.E.N Veron, or "Reef Guides to:Asia Pacific-Indo Pacific and Indian Ocean Reef. These books are by Helmut Debelius, Harry Erhardt and Daniel Knop. I need to get some feedback on these books. Also I want to find out if the book I have by Eric Borneman is sufficient as far as Corals, Reefs, photography and education is concerned? Or should I purchase one of these books, or possibly, there may be another book not listed that someone thinks may be comporable if not better. These books are $50.00 to $150.00 range so they are not cheap!!!!!!
