Books have better signal-to-noise ratio and are better organized than forums. I've found forums in general are a terrible way to learn (but great for community building, assistance and new ideas).

+1 for ebook format.

Book like that would be great if it gives a framework for setting up and maintaining a reef aquarium. Huge amount of work to do this to get to the level of something say like The Reef Aquarium by Delbeek & Sprung. Getting it published is another challenge. Are you published yet with that book?

This looks awesome. I'm more inclined to read a book about reef tanks now that I've had one for over a year. 50% of the stuff I read when I first started went right over my head because it had no context. Now that I understand the basic principles a book like this would be incredibly valuable.

Looks good but most books that are affordable are not advanced enough for me and those that I would like to read that are for advanced aquarist are way too expensive. Hope this book is not just going to be another repeat of the basic stuff all over again and it's going to be priced reasonably.

i like the books when your power goes out! on just in general waiting for stuff.
i have a book or a mag with me at all times. break at work, or even just a quite read and watch the tank. i find looking at a screen to long hurt my eyes.

+1 on preferring a book over a screen.
So when is the date of release on this wonderful book?
Too bad you won't be at the SEA-MAX to sign them!!
Can't wait until it is out.
Lenny.
