im interested in these 2 books, im just curious as to how word heavy the second book is :)

+1 on the Conscientious Marine Aquariast; it's a very level-headed and responsible book. It's written for everyone; you don't need a PhD to understand it. It's no 'Dummies' book either though.

well sounds like im getting this book then eh? thanks guys, the reason why i ask if it word heavy is casue the girlfriend won't enjoy it as much, i still thoroughly enjoy a good read!
