This is a rather old book about tropical fish. This “First Edition” book was published in 1933 by Liveright Publishing Corporation, New York. The book measures 5 ¼ inches by 7 1/8 inches and contains 226 pages. The green cloth cover is “sunned” as you can see, leaving the outline of the book end on the front. The cover shows minor signs of wear. The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The pages show no signs of rips. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this old book is good plus.

Excerpt:
The collection of the fishes which inhabit our aquaria is not the least interesting part of the hobby. While very many fishes are bred in commercial establishments, the larges proportion of the species up to the present are caught wild and transported across the oceans for our delectation.

The proportions, however, are rapidly reversing themselves. There are collectors in almost every tropical country—men who are as much at home in the unmapped jungles of the Amazon or Congo as they are on our city streets (and probably quite as safe and comfortable), intrepid souls who match the orchid-hunters in the extent of their wanderings in search of new and rare fishes to send to their houses of business in America or Europe…
