This book has great pictures with each fish description, making it easy to determine the fish based on sight. Gives you the perfect amount of basic information about each fish, which is all we really wanted. We love this book and we take it with us when we go fishing in Mexico so we can figure out exactly what we just caught! It's great!

Didn't have some of the fish we'd been catching here off the coast, but helpful just the same as we are newbies at saltwater fishing!

It is a really good guide. However, after I purchased it, I saw several more at a greatly reduced price, I am wondering what the difference is.

It's not a field guide. If the sample function had worked, I would have realised that the illustrations were small, and black-and-white, despite the color cover. Since I can't zoom the images on my iPod Touch, it's like viewing a postage stamp. The detailed illustrations are useless. It's also for sportfish mainly, not reef fish. No key or arrangement other than alphabetical, so you need to slog through every entry until you see one that looks like what you have (in black-and-white).
Wish I could return it.

good book for the person that wants basic information about fishing. I am a shore saltwater/freshwater fisherwoman and really enjoyed the basic knowledge the book has. I would have liked to have scene REAL pictures of the fish though instead of illustrations
