5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, February 11, 2009
By Matthew Little (The Colony, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have met James personally and had the pleasure of having him speak for our marine club (DFWMAS). James knows Tridacnids and his book offers the most comprehensive up-to-date information on the care for Tridacnids. This is a must have book for all Tridacnid clam owners.
