Siamese Fighting Fish by Gene A Lucas Ph.D., Edited By Herbert Axelrod. This is a brand new copy of the out of print TFH hardback reprint of the original Lucas book, Know Your Bettas. To quote Axelrod, " Inasmuch as the text itself was knowledge at the edge of science, TFH has reissued the book with the addition of about 100 original illustrations."  Since the original rights were sold to Pet Library, Gene Lucas had no input as to the adding of neither the pictures nor their captions. There has been some "discussion" about some of the captions. The book is approximately 8.5" X 11" and is beautiful illustrated. The written information is invaluable. From selecting bettas, care, feeding, breeding and a whole chapter on genetics, this book is considered by many to be the definitive betta writing.  $12.95 Pay Pal Preferred Shipping, USA only, Priority Mail, $ 4.60, book rate, $ 2.50  ( slow )
