I will be ording one. This a coup for NANFA. Any chance that he will release some copies of the "Our Native Fish"! I had a copy years and years ago but traded it for a jumping grass pickerel.
Have been looking for another copy for the last six months unsuccessfully. Thought I found one on the internet on Amazon but when I placed the order it wouldn't accept my card. The only time that's ever happened. It accepted before and after. It was selling at list price next to copies 5X more. Something smells...a,er.. Fishy?

> Scuba diving near a coral reef is only one of myriad ways to observe fish

> feed on crabs just off a mid-Atlantic beach, or getting close to a school
> of migrating gray whales. John Quinns enthusiasm, spirited stories, and
> vast knowledge will draw even the most inexperienced landlubber into the
> beauty and mystery of fishwatching. The book is illustrated with over 100
> of the authors drawings and a selection of color photographs.
>
> A complete and practical guide, Fishwatching delves into:
> techniques and equipment needed for scuba diving, snorkeling, night
> diving, underwater photography, and making your own "waterscope";
> fishwatching above the waves, with tips on chartering a boat, choosing
> the best time to go, attracting wildlife, and even keeping a field
> sketchbook;
> safety concerns, including advice on moving in currents, avoiding
> dangerous species, and staying comfortable in the water;
> the natural history of mammals, invertebrates and fish species found in
> the fresh and saltwater habitats.
