An excellent introductory book with over 50 species individually although briefly covered and pictured. Good, basic general care and maintenance information is the books strongest point. Both continents species are well represeted and although taxonomic information is out-of-date, this doesn't really impinge on the knowledge the book sets out to impart. If you don't have any catfish books and want to start down the road of knowing more you really can't go wrong at the price.
