That's quite an amazing list!!!

[Emma Turner]

I've just hired a transit van and am on my way to Castleford, stopping off at B&Q on the way to purchase a crowbar. See you in hell!

[Matt]

Wow that is an incredible list. How do you stop the pages catching alight in the underworld?

[The.Dark.One]

Thanks das matt and Emma. Ai, its not a bad list though with the money I have spent over the years I could have retired from work by now!

I don't buy many fish so I tend to buy books as a collector now. Some of them are repeated on the list because I have different editions of them.

[piggy4]

Fantabulosus ! try finding that word in any of those books .

[mickthefish]

Hi Helen
Sorry, I only just saw your post. I started about 1991. I have added quite a few since posting the list, and got rid of some of the aquarium books. I do have other books but not many.
Cheers
