James Fatherree's Clam Book

[Sump'n2do]

I just ordered Giant Clams in the Sea and Aquarium by James Fatherree. Does anyone know if this is a good book to have?

This is an excellent book. I have it and have a maxima and crocea.

i agree, excellent book with loads of info and pics.

IMHO the best book on the market, Daniel Knopp has a great book out as well.

i agree, though James's book is an easier read and a little more up to date ( published ~ 10 years after Knop's ), we can't take anything away from Knop, years of work and research. i have both

a4twenty,

Do you know where to find it up here in Canada? I can't seem to get another copy without ordering through the U.S.

Great book. Our club had James to a meeting to speak and he gave a talk on clams and his research, very cool. We got to speak with him over dinner (and had him sign my copy of the book). Very interesting guy, well traveled.

you used to be able to get knops' book from ( of all places ) BA's, but i just looked online and and it isn't listed anymore ( might still be worth a call, ASWO#15945 ). i ordered James book from J&L when it was first published and it's still listed on their website.

HTH

I understand that Daniel book is now out of print.

Giant Clams: A Comprehensive Guide to the Identification and Care of Tridacnid Clams by Daniel Knop is available on Amazon.com.

Its the only "in print" book on clams. Knop's is out of print
