Reef Sharks and Rays by Scott Michael is the most comprehensive and excellent book on this topic one could ever look for! If you are going diving or snorkeling in tropical or subtropical areas, this would have to be the incomparable choice, if you can find it. Be aware that it is out of print and can only be found in specialized stores, where it is expensive.
You will find shark species listed in here that no other guide has covered quite yet. For instance, the "Nervous Shark" is a very interesting species, and this is the only book known that lists it. (To my knowledge, since I own four books on sharks). The section on rays is also decent, as you will find unusual and poorly known species listed along with the common ones. A very pleasing guide despite it's size and trust me, it is well worth the high price that must pe paid!
