Customer Reviews

Good References and Beginner Info.

Picked up several of the series for art references. First found it in a library and had to buy for myself. Gives descriptions of anatomy, body lengths, and habitat locations. Contains an anatomy diagram of a sharks, skates, and perchlike fish. Full color illustrations, good information, and a great price compared to stores.
