Sounds like braggin'...

I had Sanjay Joshi brand my ass with a 1000W bulb back in the late 90s. Doesn't look as cool now (think burnt cottage cheese) but it rocks hard.

$10 shipped. Anyone?

xtreme 01-15-2010 01:17 PM

Yep, they are great books. Definitely worth the cash IMO.

$180 eh? Christy, maybe you could photocopy the entire 3 volumes and send them to me. :lol: I'm leaving on my holiday January 30th, so could you have them ready by then?

lastlight 01-15-2010 05:28 PM

Really? Even tho it looks like burnt cottage cheese?

That is messed lol.

Ok Christy I'm sorry. Severely over-worked the past few weeks. Delerium has driven me to silliness. I still want the books for $10 shipped though! I plan to buy them someday for sure.

I received the OA e-flyer for them and tried to order them, but when I'm redirected to the OA site they're listing them for $40 more than my flyer says. Phoned the store but not much help.

christyf5 01-15-2010 06:35 PM

Bummer, the order went in last week, a few days after the flyer went out. I just emailed Wendell and told him I wanted one.

hahahahah after meeting so many of these reefing gurus out there in person, HE ain't really that far away from one.

whatcaneyedo 01-15-2010 08:51 PM

I've got Aquarium Corals by Borneman, 500 Essential to know Invertebrates by Shimek, the Reef Aquarium series by Delbeek and Sprung, the Book of Coral Propagation by Calfo and the Baensch Marine Atlas series... please dont tell me that I have to go out and buy these coral books too!

JOEL 01-15-2010 09:13 PM

I had the same problem
I emailed Wendell On Monday to see if they were going on sale again in the near future
this is his reply.



Maybe….at 179 its still a pretty awesome value.

Wendell




Maybe if there is more people that want the books he may put an other order in I hope
it was a great deal.

I would order if you can get the lower price. I forgot to order them i did get the email but i forgot about it. Let me know if you can get the sale price.

Anyone else still wanting these books send me a PM for details.

Rippin 01-19-2010 03:09 AM

Agreed that these are great encyclopedic books, but FYI, it only covers zooxanthellate stony corals. So if you're a softy fan you'll have to look someplace else. A better title for this series of books should be "Stony Corals of the World".
