Book Suggestions

I recently upgraded to 2 X 250W MH with 2 actinic VHO supplements over my 72g bow front. I've been wondering about getting a clam. But I want to do some research first.

What is your favorite book for clam info?

James's hands down. Knopps is great, for a biology text book, but it offers very little to the hobbyist. James's book is written mainly for the hobbyist. He really tried to cover every major topic, and I think he did a bang up job on it
